        What systemic problems are you referring to? Seoul has some of the best public transport in the world and the vehicle was a sedan. The driver either was drunk/high or had a stroke.

                Looking at the second photo in the article it looks like it bent the bollards over, which I would guess mightve launched the car into the air…

                I think the bigger systemic problem would be the 8 lane roads in the area which enabled enough space for the car to get up enough speed to do that sort of damage to a bollard: https://maps.app.goo.gl/aHDmVJMPt3LKvAeL9?g_st=ac

                Another systematic problem is the enbiggening of vehicles in the name of occupants saftey(larger pillars for better rollover protection, and extra passenger cabin rigidity, which also harms visibility for the driver due to wider pillars)

                    Ah yeah true, they were railings not bollards, but they look like they were solid steel, so I don’t think it’s fair to just call them “decoration”.
