Title: More level crossing lunacy (Poland again) Post by: Bmblbzzz on August 30, 2018, 14:55:21 What do you do if you come to a level crossing, the barriers are down and the lights are flashing, but you can't actually see the train approaching? You force the barriers open and drive across, of course! And what do you do if something deep inside your brain tells you this might be not the wisest thing to do? You open both barriers first and run across! But then they close anyway, stranding you on the tracks. And if you're so considerate you want everyone to have the same opportunity? You hold the barrier open while four more cars drive over. The link below should take you to a video of this madness.

The comments are all too familiar though; mostly along the lines of "It's the railways fault for closing the barriers too early."
