You can't park there, mate

For all parking disasters, not just simple bad parking (for that see yplac.co.uk).

Also includes "you can't park there, sir" for the police equivalent.

Looks like these are some kind of retractable bollard. Check out the Mercedes on the right.

My guess, given the convenient placement of the tires on the right one, is that they're testing them somehow, but I'm not sure why the BMW is centered over its bollard. That must be doing at least a little bit of damage to the undercarriage.

Pretty sure the guy just got lucky with the tires, I don't see what meaningful data you could get from a test like this.

Also, people breaking the cars on the bollards this exact way somehow isn't exactly uncommon.
