Those bollards need to be solid.

Needs concrete bollards.
Just one at random
Very much deliberate action, probably votes Republican.
High probability.
Absolute certainty
Of course it’s a pickup truck. Classic fragile ego in his emotional support vehicle.
23rd Street, Santa Monica. August 9, 2026, a driver in a green truck runs over bollards in the protected bike lane. On August 19, Councilmember Dan Hall reports that the Santa Monica Police Department “has identified the vehicle and owner. They have had the vehicle towed for expired registration and are following up with the owner on the vandalism of public property.” @electdanhal Santa Monica has built 119 of the 187 miles of bikeway in its Bike Action Plan. Roughly five of those miles are protected. The half-mile on 23rd Street is protected by plastic barriers called “armadillos” while other areas, such as 17th Street are protected by concrete curbs.
Lol, 119 miles just a colored line, 5 miles this useless stuff? So none are actually protected
You got all of that wrong somehow, while extracting numbers from that one paragraph.
- 119 miles in total.
- 5 of them protected, so 114 colored lines.
- Of the protected ones this half-mile with these plastic bollards, 17th street with concrete curbs. Share of bollards to curbs not explicitly disclosed.
I live near enough to know the layout and while it’s mostly just colored line, the streets are still usually bike friendly, assuming you don’t see this nonsense.
What SM did was actually reduce parking to the point that it forced biking or bussing (and made permits for remaining spots, lol). Driving remains is almost all single lane torture with a 25 mph limit, single because when I was a kid it was two lanes and they decided they wanted a dedicated bike lane (specifically thinking Broadway but probably others).
SM is a small place, too. A ton of those miles are in residential areas with little room for expansion.
They should lose their car and license, and be made to repair all the damage they did. Maybe some community service, too.
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.
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.
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)
Make them pay to replace them with concrete bollards
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.
Rebuild every single one of those by hand, with concrete and rebar. Lose license permanently . Have to speak every year at high schools about anger management, inadequacy and insecurity, for life.
this is hilarious actually. where do the posts go? they just seem to disappear. also imagine how much damage that car is gonna take. would be real funny if one of these posts was randomly steel instead of rubber lol.
Sadly seem to be rubber posts. In the Netherlands they are used in some places so emergency vehicles can ignore them and go into a otherwise “blocked off” street
They are very common in the UK - flexible bollards are widespread here to prevent damage to vehicles after the inevitable collisions. Using them to separate cars from bike lanes is also common - and says the quiet part out loud: https://startsafety.uk/collections/flexible-bollards
They went up into that driver’s ass.
How I wish just one of those had concrete in it.
needs a random pattern of concrete + glitter bomb
Omg this would be such a good method to save money, just make some of them concrete and you never know which one
Ya I watched right to the end of the video hoping one of those was going to be the money shot.
We found him. The man with the smallest dick.
Didn’t he gofundme for surgery?
And the limpest.
he should be finded for every single of those public infrastructure things he hit for their full replacement value outside of whatever the standard ticket and fine is.
No. He should he fined to upgrade them all to concrete bollards
Not good enough:
- Loss of drivers license permanently
- Vehicle impounded and cubed
- Fined the price to change those from useless plastic floppy bits to the concrete and steel reinforced rails needed to keep people safe from cars.
vehicle cubed and returned to his driveway.
You have 30 minutes to move your car.
You have 10 minutes.
Your car has been impounded.
Your car has been crushed into a cube.
You have 30 minutes to move your cube.
Really wish some of these came with really harsh punishments like you are suggesting. This is an absolute psychopath who will eventually hurt someone.
Send that to the local authorities?
uhh be careful. in many regions it’s illegal to just film other people. even if they’re doing something illegal. be careful.
Tell that shit to flock
He must hate people with fit legs?
Jealousy?
You mean people with non-micropenises. Only jealous or fearful people carry that much hate around.
Excuse me, as someone with a small package I would never do this.
They’ve got “pathetic whiny bitch energy” though. Probably complains about woke DEI antifa bike lanes to other dudes who take low angle photos in their trucks with oakleys on.
Hey now, I like my Oakley’s. They’re the only ones that fit my face without gaps.
Tbf tho I don’t post videos of me bitching about falling behind people without privilege.
Excuse me, as someone who whines like a bitch, I would never do this.
They’ve got “grandma who can’t find the lane energy” though. Probably complains about technology to other grandmas who blast shopping shows with bifocals on.
Dodge ram driver doing dodge ram driver shit.
Driving with such entitlement
