“The first was a drunk driver who hit it in March last year.“She hit the safety bollard – destroying it – and her car then rolled, flipped over and skidded down the road.
“She was injured and taken to hospital by ambulance.
“Another time an elderly driver was coming down the road towards the city and smacked into the safety bollard, destroying it, further damaging the patio next door and scraped down my wall, taking off bricks and chunks of a pillar before knocking down a castiron downpipe.”
Sounds like the bollard wasn’t up to the task. Stronger ones are available.

I sometimes think of making a face mask, but made of no-see-um netting, with some structure to hold it away from my face.
Not like this atrocity, though.

“If the high grass on the approach from Woodbridge could be cut back for just a few feet, cars and motorbikes coming from the right could be seen clearly again.”
I can’t think of anything else you might have to look for.
“For cars, it is impossible to see over or through the grass.”
That’s because cars don’t have eyes.

I can’t find meaningful stats for pedestrians killed by cyclists over here. There were a few high profile cases recently in NYC… as in the UK, because it’s so rare that it’s a “man bites dog” headline.

A quirk of the Highway Code is to blame for the failure, which has gone viral on YouTube and social media apps.

I really want one, but I also want a Bakfiets and an ordinary, and I don’t have room for either of them yet.
I reckon I could do my nine mile work commute (typically nearly 40 minutes, my record just over 30) in under 25 minutes in one.
