Drivers fail to beat the bollards

CCTV cameras have filmed numerous cheeky drivers doing battle with the infamous rise-and-fall road bollards of Manchester - and losing.

The 3ft-high barriers which sink into the street to let Metroshuttle buses through, have been installed because of the area's high road casualty rate.

Yet drivers are risking their cars - and their safety - by following buses through, despite warning signs.

This is hilarious as the cars try to bomb through before the barriers rise.
