That works, car hits it and pushes concrete bucket. Their car is fucked, your mailbox just need to be put back in place, postmaster is happy. Win win win situation.
Yeah lol, on one of my old phones I have pictures of my mailbox, broken pieces of bucket, and several chunks of honda scattered 30 yards down the street. No more bucket, but the concrete was just fine. I had to straighten the pole a little, but it still stands.
I’d argue that the people running into mailboxes with their cars are a danger to pedestrians, cyclists and other drivers so it is best for them to get a proper dent and learn to be more careful.
if they drive at a speed where hitting a mailbox is deadly, then they are at least double over the speed limit, or the speed limits in the US are insane in residential areas.
Muricans prioritizing the wrong thing as always. If you want to carelessly run through my property I want to see a big dent in the car
I solved this problem on my rural road, 5 gallon bucket of concrete, holding the mailbox. Wont kill you, but it will fuck your car up all to hell.

Safety of humans vs safety of letters 🤔

They will still get a dent, just not potentially die from high speed impact.

cars are designed to absorb collisions, they can cry about it
Oh they will have a dent for sure. They just won’t potentially be dead from impact.
