A bollard is stationary! Whatever’s behind it would get maximalist damage from a car going through it like what happens with plastic sticks!

I just think there should be consequences for maneuvering a multi thousand point piece of metal dangerously!

>I like people to actively suffer

There's a difference between just consequences and sadistic retribution.

Running into a bollard should have consequences because hitting a person behind that bollard sure as shit does!

Should people actively suffer because an idiot in a giant death machine was operating it poorly, or should the operator deal with the consequences?

Just very cringey to invent situations where someone gets hurt or has to suffer and then to get excited about that thought.

Americans have a sick obsession with Retribution.

What? People literally drive over flex posts constantly, including right into bike lanes that other people are in. That’s not a made up situation, it happens every day on any of the protected lanes the original article is bitching about!
