Reminds me of that dude that fashioned a concrete reinforced steel mailbox pole and got sued after paralysing a dude that hit it.

Homeowner won though.

    Cletus Snay was driving to work in December 2016 when his Ford pick-up truck crashed into Matthew Burr's mailbox after losing traction on black ice.

    What a very American sentence.

    Agree on the first two, but dumbasses/drunks hitting shit is a global tradition

    I thought roadside mailboxes were mostly an American thing. No? All the places I've lived in Europe had them at the door or in a common area like a lobby.
