Just had a look on Google Streetview, I wondered if there was something else there but it looks very simple to get through.  ;D

It's similar to people who won't overtake cyclists unless it's a dual carriageway  ;D

I remember this from a few years back.  :y  The gap between the bollards at Woodmere Avenue was originally 2.1 metres and the width of my Audi is 2.08 metres, so it didn’t take a lot of working out that it would be tight, hence so many accidents. It was later widened, due to so many accidents, by an additional 6 inches, so I’d have an additional 3 inches on either side to play with.  ;D
It was for this reason that pick-up trucks, 4x4’s etc, chose to use the bus lane through the middle of the road, as they genuinely did not fit through. My own personal method in situations like this is to run ridiculously tight on the drivers side (the side I can see) which gives a bit of leeway on the passenger side. There’s a similar set-up in Bicester with a 7 foot width restriction and I’ll admit to avoiding that road.  ::) ;D

Most modern cars are proper 'fat bastards' in 2026.

There would have been plenty of room to thread your Austin 1100 or Ford Anglia through back when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. :)

I go through some like that in Witham most days.
The number of people who come to a stop and crawl through the gap gingerly, with nearly six inches clearance either side amazes me.
Theres more than six inches now though because someone ripped one of them clean out of the ground a few weeks ago.  ::)

Given the town in question, I suspect many drivers lack such trivialities as driving licences and insurance...

That has really brightened my day.
 ;D
If I lived there I would have to move the camera to get a better video.

It maybe they do have a licence and insurance but are stoked with drugs?
