Rising bollards in the middle of the road are becoming more used in the UK to physically enforce
traffic restrictions, such as roads open only to buses and taxis. But some drivers in Manchester think the law doesn't apply to them.
See what happens when they try to tailgate behind authorized vehicles. Also, see
a video of what happens when a loaded lorry is rammed into an anti-terrorist rising bollard at full speed.
