Drivers fail to beat the bollards - these drivers are soooo stupid!

SPI · 8th November 2006, 11:31

CCTV cameras have filmed numerous cheeky drivers doing battle with the infamous rise-and-fall road bollards of Manchester - and losing.

The 3ft-high barriers which sink into the street to let Metroshuttle buses through, have been installed because of the area's high road casualty rate.

Yet drivers are risking their cars - and their safety - by following buses through, despite warning signs.

This is hilarious as the cars try to bomb through before the barriers rise. Click on the link below to watch these fools.

Agreed, that is definately funny as

Not sure about the kids in the back of the last car, hopefully the repair bill to the engine oil sump, power steering rack and exhaust manifolds will serve as a reminder to wear seat belts!

Seen that one before, still good to watch, loads of airbag dust when they opened the back door. That will take some explaining to the insurance.
