My guess is those pop back up when knocked over. Hard to see in the video if they are standing back up after he hits them but i think they do.
I agree he should loose his license and be charged with reckless driving.
Having seen people drive over these, they are designed to flop around for this very reason, but usually don’t stand up to anything faster than walking speed unless they’re brand new.
So I’m sure quite a few didn’t pop back up.
Either way, I’d make them pay for the entire row and use the money to make a more permanent barrier (that’ll never happen in the US)
uhh rubber does bend normally, yes, but not if you hit it at that speed. the rubber has no time to respond properly, and instead of bending, it tears apart, i think. so no, i don’t think these will stand up again.

It’s a shame there’s not the occasional solid steel bar mixed in with them.
They’re designed to be knockable and pop back up to accommodate street sweepers and energy vehicles, but not assholes going full speed
Energy vehicles?
Guessing an autocorrected emergency vehicles.

Make them pay to replace them with concrete bollards
