My guess is those pop back up when knocked over. Hard to see in the video if they are standing back up after he hits them but i think they do.
I agree he should loose his license and be charged with reckless driving.
You can see them pop up in some parts of the video. Regardless though, there’s no way they aren’t damaged by this. There’s only so much wear something can take.
Having seen people drive over these, they are designed to flop around for this very reason, but usually don’t stand up to anything faster than walking speed unless they’re brand new.
So I’m sure quite a few didn’t pop back up.
Either way, I’d make them pay for the entire row and use the money to make a more permanent barrier (that’ll never happen in the US)
uhh rubber does bend normally, yes, but not if you hit it at that speed. the rubber has no time to respond properly, and instead of bending, it tears apart, i think. so no, i don’t think these will stand up again.

Make them pay to replace them with concrete bollards
They’re designed to be knockable and pop back up to accommodate street sweepers and energy* vehicles, but not assholes going full speed
Edit: was sposed to say emergency vehicles
Energy vehicles?
Guessing an autocorrected emergency vehicles.
It’s a shame there’s not the occasional solid steel bar mixed in with them.
Thought about it, and it makes a missle out of a bollard etc that would risk bystanders.
That driver is already a severe risk to literally everyone and everything around it.
