Ideas for protecting drain pipe from parking mishaps?

Motorcycle inner tube.
Cut to 1M length
Remove 1M from down pipe.
Jubilee clip to pipe bottom

The problem is that every time it gets whacked it disconnects from the gutter at the top and causes a leak

You need more brackets.

I wonder what you can hang from that bracket?
Hanging basket? Punchbag? Wind chimes? Church bell? Inflatable chicken?
Something that is visible to the driver, and that a car can hit without doing damage

Screw a length of tanalised wood either side of the pipe, thicker than the pipe.

Then there is no need to modify the pipe etc.

It's a barrier that I want, rather than a deterrent/guide. Have been googling "pipe protectors" as recommended, but haven't found anything the right size yet - ideally I want something that doesn't protrude much more than 10cm from the wall

That's an interesting idea. It could be customised to exactly the right size, too. Might look a but ugly/odd, though

Fix a tiny speed bump on the floor at the precise point which when you feel the car tyres meet it you stop.

Again, a length of wood screwed to the drive will do this - no need for a sleeping policeman cement type bump.

Looks like to me Driver's Error.

Similar idea...

I have an IR beam, across my garage roller door, I drive in, nose first. To that, I added an LED wired, to the back of the garage. It lights up, when the rear of the car, is just clear of the roller door.

The OP, could similarly, wire an IR beam lined up at an angle between that corner at the side of the door, with the reflector, on that adjacent wall to the left.

You could knock something up with key clamp?
Loads of places will cut the tube as part of the mail order, you only need to assemble with an Allen key.
Square or round galvanised, some is powder coated.

To be honest, you could use glue fit poly plumbing pipe and fittings, although less robust
Fit a PIR Rechargable LED light to come on when near
