I shouldn't laugh - I got fined for being in a bus lane about 6 months ago, but it was a genuine mistake - unknown town, and when the nav system said turn left, I did......
No sympathy for those people though - especially the second one. He clearly floored it trying to get through - and after crashing, gets his kid out from the back seat. Bet he's got one of those poxy "baby on board" signs in his back window too........

FFS! SO dangerous.. This seriously can't have passed health and safety's **** whining executive..
So you drive into a bus lane..punishment: whiplash or some degree of head injury, for you and your children, and a ruined car.
What next? Bailer spikes appearing from the ground in box junctions?

Wouldn't it be so utterly refreshing to see our government and councils put as much effort and cash into catching criminals as they do motorists......

These have been installed in Durham for the past 4-5 years... similar story there.... but also city centre residents who get a pass which lets the barriers drop were getting problems whereby the barriers would sometimes come back up too soon! Ouch!

This happened to my flatmate in his company car and ruined the front end. Again, paying too much attention to the Sat Nav and not the road signs was to blame. Made me laugh though.

Just goes to show how much the 'anti car group' have taken over the councils and running of the UK.
It's now OK to 'maim' errant motorists and their passengers, for minor transgressions on motoring laws. As all these video clips show, the vehicle number plate are easierly identifiable, so why not send them a FPN (fixed penality notice) £40? No lets injure them, because they're the 'lowest of the low', (car drivers) and they deserve it!

I don' t think the plan was to injure them(people/ cars), or damage their cars. But just to prevent people from using that lane. But I could be wrong , maybe those guys sat around a table and said" So how do we #$% up the tax payers cars, and maybe hurt them....ya ya hurt them too that would be nice"
