Errent cars, fences, etc revisited

Just read yesterdays post concerning the mentioned topic. I realize that a large part of any accident, and what most people are seeking, would be the person responsible actually claiming responsibility. Even so creating something you know is inherently unsafe, to damage their vehicle, to insure that claim, shouldn't be an issue when to deciding what action to take to protect your property. Through all the posts one thing I noticed that everyone missed, no matter what their point of view, was installing a proper barricade. There were discussions about the dangers of a 'regular' fence, to the extreems of railroad iron set in concrete, etc but no mention of simply using a standard guardrail or even a cable setup like some states use. If the value of what your protecting, be it a crop or livestock of some sort, is that high then the expense to put in a proper, safe barricade should be insignificant. if your worried about the person hitting it sticking around, tell me this, how many highway acidents involving vehicles hitting standard guardrails and those cable setups have you seen where the vehicle was driavable after a run in with them? I would almost bet you the vehicle won't be going anywhere once it hit. Thing is if your using the same stuff the state and Feds use to protect motorists a lawyer would have a hard time suing you for using a proper barricade without setting a precidient which could then make the goverment liable for damages incured from the same "protective devices" they install...Personally I don't think the government would want that can of worms opened...Just my .02
