Well that car drivers just a lazy git and a total idiot, shouldn't be allowed on the road. Reminds me of when I tried to take a photo the other day of a wall carving in town, stood there getting it in frame, focus..............., and a group of girls pullup right infront of me, between me and the subject. double yellow lines, not enough room for anything other than a cat to get by without going on the path. They got out and went shopping.

I can't comment from those pictures, I don't know the area layout, but that bollard is to stop vehicles cutting in when they turn. It's also too far on the path and and is an obstruction. That corner is a typical example of a road junction that is no longer suitable for the size, length, width, and amount of modern traffic. It's exactly like the one by the wall carving above, withe the car parking in the side street just with its bonnet by the bollard.

Still no excuse for letting anyone reverse in to anything. For one reason if the bollard had snapped off, and the van had just driven off, then it's council tax that has to pay for it's repair.
