Bollards > Trucks.

There are enough angry, violent men in the world that it makes sense to always have bollards around places that large numbers of pedestrians will gather.

So if you're going to upgrade your bollards, please don't remove the old bollards weeks before you install the new ones.

Bollards also protect everyone, pedestrians and drivers, from unintended acceleration.

If you accidentally stomp on the gas right next to a busy farmer's market, you'd rather show up and be embarrassed on World Bollard Association, than show up in court defending vehicular manslaughter charges.

I live in the USA, where we have no gun control. Our guns are most definitely out of control.

But I remain optimistic that we can get some truck control at least?

We already have truck licensing, mandatory safety courses, and we take your license away if you're dangerous. Need a few more bollards.

I am of the opinion that most full sized trucks in the US should require a special drivers license with additional training and safety requirements.
