Although not strictly Marlin related I think these videos will be of interest to car constructers.

They caused quite a bit of discussion at work with two camps establishing quite different opinions depending on your opinion of the drivers. Whatever your opinion you cant help but be impressed by the engineering behind these.

Brilliant! I think the motorists deserve everything they got. Serves them right for ignoring the signs. And HOW exactly do the people who think they are a bad idea think someone is going to get killed? Ridiculous!

I love the end of the clip when the white van tries to follow the post office van. You can so clearly see the passengers head slam against the windscreen smashing the glass - should have put on his seat belt!!! or done as he was told in the first place.
