We don't have these barrier poles in America like they do in Europe, so our American readers may not be as familiar with them.

Only authorized cars are allowed in and you can not drive over them if you don't have the permit… but…well, the video speaks for itself.

I 'm amazed at the look of surprise on the face of one of the "young" drivers.
