Make it weak, brittle, or flexible.

Make the post of PVC, ABS, fiberglass rod, or a 2x2. If a car breaks
the
mail box down, that's what was supposed to happen.

Yeah, and have the utility company take down any poles that may be
close
to the road on your property.

Utilitiy companies and governments do recognize that vehicles don't
always stay on the road, and utility companies and governements have
taken, and are taking, steps to accomodate these events. Using the
break-away poles I mentioned earlier is one method of dealing with the
problem. Thouthful positioning of the poles is another.

Many existing utility lines are located where they are because it was
convenientent to install them there. Modern design places more emphsis
on saftey.

Also, take down any concrete walls or
posts you may have along the edge of the roadway, and remove any trees
that may get hit by a car.

You should also buy a whole lot of those
water filled plastic barrier barrels and line them up along your
frontage.

A shallow trench filled with sand would work too. If your property is
located on a risky stretch of road, this is an option.
