> OK. I give up. What's a bollard? Is it just one of those British terms like windscreen, tyre, boot, silencer, and bonnet? Do I have one on my Toyota? I tried pronouncing it in Spanish and it came out boyard. I wonder what it is in American. > It could be the bumper or the rocker panel.
I didn't know that "bollard" wasn't an international name. Huh. Anyway, you've only got one on your Toyota if you had a particularly nasty crash. It's a stone post, usually shaped like a domed obelisk, placed such as to stop cars from entering pedestrian areas or driving over important stuff.
