| Thanks for your reply, yes, others have suffered just like me, and one of the residents who lives very close to the site has seen other drivers taking photographs and heard other impacts!! The council, as is their standard procedure, refuse to acknowledge liability, and if it is of any use I will re... |

| Here are photos hopefully uploaded from Flickr. Agree, the undulations in the road, and when sitting in lower position of driving seat, certainly do make the island much less visible. http://www.flickr.com/photos/16142967@N04/6312764660/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/16142967@N04/6312238887/ http://w... |

| Here , hopefully is link to Google Streetview of the offending bollard/island. This was obviously taken at least two or three years ago and the bollard/island and immediate surrounds are nowhere near as visible now. However the surface of the island as you will see is the same as the road surface, s... |

| Sorry everyone that I've been offline on this subject for so long, had a load of other pressing stuff, however I will have a go at uploading photos, or at least linking to them now. With regard to swerving to the right, I didn't have time for that manoeuvre, I was mid-way through my move to the left... |

| Here is the Google Street Map location. I was heading NW (approx) with Kings Wells gardens on my right and the island in question is the small island in the middle of the road as you enter the village (not the pedestrian refuge further into the village). This image is probably 3 - 4 years old so roa... |

| Thanks for the replies, I do have comprehensive insurance but obviously am wanting to avoid claiming (even although I have protected no claims and a full no claims bonus). I will look at the Google street map of the area and attach a link if possible, or perhaps attach a couple of the photographs th... |

| New to this and would welcome some advise here. Back in June I was travelling on a standard two laned A-road entering a small village. This is a road that I don't use often, not an excuse, merely a stated fact at this point in the story. On exiting a left hand bend approximately 300 metres from the ... |
