You would be forgiven for thinking we had seen the last of this...

The Woodmere Avenue restriction had been altered in August, in a bid to stop the collisions that have plagued it for over a decade.

However, an unfortunate learner driver was filmed hitting a bollard, coming from the opposite direction to most of the previous crashes. This is the second crash recorded since the problem was supposed to be solved, after a Vauxhall Insignia hit one of the bollards in September, days after the redesign.In the latest video, recorded yesterday the car appears to hit the first bollard on their left straight on.

As part of the redesign, six “evil” smaller posts on each side were replaced by four taller yellow bollards, mounted behind the kerb.After the redesign a Hertfordshire County Council spokesperson said: “We believe the recent work to upgrade the kerbs, set the bollards back six inches from the kerb, and remove one of the three sets of bollards will help address local residents’ concerns and improve the situation for drivers.
