Reminds me of the incident earlier in the year when a 172 on approach into an airfield in the US clipped an SUV. Everyone focused on the SUV driver apparently being in the wrong by not checking the approach but the runway clearly had a displaced threshold to protect against such an eventuality which the pilot violated.

I know I am guilty of making the arrows on the starter ext. my aiming point, particularly on short field ops, but I will always make sure the wheels are never on the ground before the white line.
