A for effort though

It's now occurring to me that this is why there are those pillars to either side of gas pumps

[-] myrrh@ttrpg.network 21 points 2 months ago

...they're called bollards, and you'd be surprised how robustly they must be constructed to stop large trucks...

This is like that hypothetical time warp were you keep reliving the last few minutes of your life until you can stop your own death but no matter what you do you eventually give up and that was the only way to stop it.

I must have seen this loop 10,000 times and finally it stopped.

And that pillar laid down it's life heroically.

In Australia, we say "you've binned it" if you crash.

For example "He's binned it in the servo".

That will not buff out.

Ultimate Active I guess it is.

What actually happened here? It looks like it went sideways up the bollard, did something else crash into it?

[-] Emperor@feddit.uk 2 points 2 months ago

The car crashed into the back of a van and looks to have spun hard into the petrol station forecourt, bending the bollards back, wrapping itself around the metal upright and ending up on top of the bin. To bend the bollards and the pillar they must have been going at considerable speed.

[-] Kushan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah that's a nasty crash for sure

You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.
