There's conflicting evidence to support either system. I don't think it makes much difference which kind of barrier is used, the only ones I really dislike are the wire barriers. Fine in a car, lethal on a bike.
We've been watching the reruns of the Dukes of Hazzard on Paramount just recently. Brilliant fun but why, if the Duke boys are the best drivers in Hazzard County, is the sherriff usually only 5 seconds behind them? Mind you Daisy Duke mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Speaking of which, I watched a re-run of the drama about the hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper last week, and was struck by their use of a Mk1 Escort panda car, apparently in 1979 when it would have been at least 5 years old, and a HB Viva panda, which was still parked outside the police station in the last scene. By 1981 that car would have been at least 11 years old...
