So it's basically a raised median?
Like... We have raised medians. Drivers navigate roads with raised medians all the time. Maybe that one woman just doesn't know how to drive very well?
Her logic is hilarious lol. "I don't think the barriers are needed because I keep hitting them"
Lady... you are the reason they are needed!
So like, ACAB and all but i want to kiss the officer who took away my MIL's license when she hit one of those barriers and then wandered off into the rain. All the signs of dementia, right? No. She has the munchausens. We had been trying to hide her keys for years and she kept finding them, but she refuses to drive without her license. Dude seriously saved lives that night.
(To the woman): Your issue is that a small swerve can lead to impacting with a solid object that could damage your car. That issue remains regardless. The question is whether you ALSO hurt a person in the process.
