Re: Manchester Bus Lane Video & Damage
Don't blame the bollards, blame the idiots who try to outrun them. It can't be done.
I think we've seen this video before though, or I'm developing clairvoyance.

Re: Manchester Bus Lane Video & Damage
The sad thing is that these bollards are clearly signposted, as is the fact that it is a bus only route. Drivers who are unable to read and obey these instructions deserve what they get and are unfit to be driving in the first place..

Re: Manchester Bus Lane Video & Damage
When these idiots are caught, they should have their mugshot placed on the front page af the Manchester Evening News, with the banner headline, "Dozy Tw*t!"
If you thought I meant, "twit", you are much mistaken.

Re: Manchester Bus Lane Video & Damage
Look how many people argued that it's OK to drive in front of Accy Town Hall in spite of the signs there saying it's for buses only.

Re: Manchester Bus Lane Video & Damage
Just been down there now, doing a spot of shopping. Nobody actually went over the bollards, but there were still plenty of cars driving right up to them, then stopping while the drivers sat there, looking mystified. This, despite the large illuminated signs saying no entry except for buses and authorised vehicles!
