Railings removed

I've passed a fair few barriers that have sections completely missing which I always thought indicated that the car had gone straight through.

Also sadly (for fuel economy, state of the roads etc) 1,500 kg is no longer the province of a large car, it's becoming the average with increasing equipment levels, general bloat etc.

The original Mk1 Golf GTI had a 1.6 litre four pot motor and weighed approx 800 kgs, the latest iteration had a 3.2 litre six pot motor and weighs 1,600 kg+, and that's a hatchback.

That's insane, I'm from the past, when a Saab was really heavy at a tonne, what are they thinking?
