And just to prove that Brit's don't have complete dominance of stupidity when it comes to traffic bollards, here is a video from the Dutch

YouTube - Dutch bollard runners

Ski jumping for cars anyone

Unknownsoldier · 24th July 2008, 14:04

You'd have to do it going the other way

Hilarious, I've seen a Merc convertable go up on one, the female driver was terrifiied and couldn't figure out why people just stood there laughing.

Well I love the fact that some people took a really good run up at the bollards - classic!

The dutch bollard film is classic too and the last car to go over really does take a jump, doesn't it? Wow

How do you explain that to your insurance company?

Unknownsoldier · 24th July 2008, 14:29

"Oh Bollards!" ?????

Don´t think you can use the terms "those people" and "thinking" in the same sentance.

Unknownsoldier · 25th July 2008, 09:39

Surely those people should not be allowed to breed???, this is a good test for euthenasia, if you try to drive over them, behind the wall BANG. Much simpler....

Saw one live in Manchester, it was a BMW 5 series full of young lads. They followed a bus and BANG, windows blown out by the airbags smoke and crying diver……. It was the time of all the bomb scares so I shat myself when I heard the noise !!!!

lobey dosser · 26th July 2008, 00:56

I've seen that 1st video before.

Look very closely at the white Iveco van at the very end of the clip that tries to follow the Royal Mail van through.

The passenger takes a header right into the windscreen and breaks it.
A warning for those that don't like seatbelts, there , methinks!

Never seen these used in normal city (or other) areas ...

Around Embassies and the like - yes - but otherwise ? - clearly hazardous if not downright dangerous ! ...

p.s. - none the less - there really are some total plonkers around ...

p.p.s. - laughed my socks off
