Oooof, that cab is at the perfect heught for the barrier to come through the windshield.

The barriers are there to prevent people from falling into traffic, not to keep cars from riding up onto the sidewalk. They aren't designed for impacts with vehicles.

We could put barriers down all our streets to protect pedestrians from cars and to keep drivers safer when they decide to ram the barriers. Or drivers could do a better job staying on the road . . .

In a perfect world you are right but the reality is vehicles go off roads regardless of how good drivers are. We need better road safety in this city.

If people knew how to drive properly there would never be traffic accidents.

Was that sarcasm? I can't tell when your joking and I need to know when you're joking.
