Isn't it a fairly regular occurrence on that bridge?

Presumably he clonked the bollard, travelling too fast and it caused the car to spin and wedge it like that.

Nice, but you must have needed to move every time a car wanted to cross the bridge.

I don't know the bridge, but if that's in Warwickshire - the Uber Drivers around here are terrible.

Picnicers can use the pedestrian refuges (usually)

It becomes a tactical battle if you want to cross the bridge and other peds are coming towards you as well as the traffic!

You should come to London, thousands of the useless ignorant censored

Usually with 2 phones blocking their view of the road.

Yep. Has made driving in London a hideous prospect. Before Uber I used to enjoy London driving.
