Kinda feel sorry for the AA man & the woman sat in the car. Not really his fault that the barrier came down & bollards up so sharpish!
Must have been quite a scary experience for her.

All the Airport barriers work like that,
It is an anti Terrorist Design. Why the Thicko Security people would say otherwise, Astounds me! |

How do they work then? Can't be a timer in case you drove slowly. A light sensor (or similar) that detects when the vehicle has passed? Anyway, some power in those bollards!

Was shown on Five News tonight - that AA guy will never live it down eventhough it wasn't really his fault

I guess the guy who will lose his job will be the one who posted the video clip to the various web-sites!!

The report says black BMW but certainly looks like a Rover 400.
