Mind the bollards Police guarding Windsor Castle are getting extra training - because they keep wrecking cars with a security barrier. Officers are raising the steel bollards as vehicles pass over them reports The Sun. Shocked drivers end up 3ft above the ground, impaled on the anti-terrorist device. One elderly tourist got a nasty shock when he sat down for a rest on a raised bollard. A careless cop lowered it again, sending him crashing to the floor. Police have had to pay out thousands in compensation for damaged cars. Now officers are being trained to lift and lower the remote-control bollards safely. The reinforced steel poles were put outside the Castle's main entrance as part of a £10 million upgrade of security at the Queen's home. Royal Protection Squad have got the barriers wrong on at least six occasions. Victims include a policewoman and the Queen's newsagent. A source said: "The newsagents was bringing the papers following another car in. A new officer lowered the bollards for the first car but then pressed to bring them up again just as the second car was passing over. He got quite a shock as his car shot up in the air."
