Always good to watch, would be interesting to find out how these work, as the first bus took an age to drive over the bollard, yet once it was clear, the bollard came up.

Does anyone know how they detect when the vehicle has passed over?

Couple centuries old but a gem. Obviously though the bollards were only recently installed (at the time of the video).

which loosely translated means "i'd try the same thing as those ignorant, impatient morons on the video if someone in here can tell me how to get away with it"

and those same bollards hilight the stupidity gene, which was installed in those drivers at birth.

hehe - always good to see ignorant people get their just desserts.

The first bus driver was talking to someone on the pavement or the passenger leaving the bus.

Vehicles have radio tags or transponders fitted which activate the bollards as they approach.

I think the first car could have made it past if it had kept just inches from the rear of the bus.

No, you're not alone. I LMFAO at them personally.
Knobhead in the people carrier trying it with his child in the back of the car deserves to have his license and genitals torn up IMO.

Not at all mate, just wondering how the system knew the bus had cleared the bollard, so that it didn't catch the rear bumper.

You can see why these people do it though, they probably think the bollards would detect their car going over and not go back up.
