OT- can someone explain this?

Lol thats funny. BTW the plates look like they are from Germany. And only a german would come up with an invention like that :p
 
Seen those in a few places over here... sadly too few people try risking it to be worth sitting out watching :D
 
We have some here in France as well, either to protect bus-only lanes or pedestrian areas of the city where firemen, police, ambulances, cleaning services or deliverees must access though. A friend of mine got his car stuck on one of those while working as a deliveree, haha :) But they don't get back up so quickly, it's very dangerous... His car was stopped waiting for the red light to go green, and the thingy just came up under the car and raised it, two wheels where not touching the ground anymore :)
 
they have things like that near where i live, and i live in Surrey (rather!)

Yes brett the drivers are on the correct side of the road, and with the exception of these chumps; driving better than any frenchmen. ;)
lol
