I don't believe the bollards
continued to rise given the video evidence. And yes, the guidelines suggest allowing tailgating, but that does not mean the right to tailgate in order to drop your family off closer to the shops. All the warnings are still there - the driver is breaking the law.
It shouldn't be necessary to have someone there to uphold the law. The signs should be enough. We all buy into a system where personal inconvenience (ie no dropping the wife & kids outside M&S) is sacrificed for general good. But this video proves signs are NOT enough. Unless the signs say "Go any further and the bollards will F**K your car" Why burden the taxpayer with the extra cost of manning an area which is out of bounds?
