The one that does the crossings near me always have a couple on foot 'having a word' with pedestrians too. People are morons, there's always a few incidents a year here, I'm all for them monitoring crossings

Maybe you shoudl try some words. What's your beef with this?

It isn't a speed camera it is a BTP crossing camera. Some drivers try to gamble wit theirs and the lives of others by crossing over railway lines even when they are warned a train is coming. Maybe the part strap-line "Dangerous and free" is your preference, it ain't mine.

Most are too ready to allocate the speed camera motif on this but you woudl be wrong as are the cretins posting it in the first place.

It’s not even a ‘classic’ fail thread, it’s a ‘total’ fail by the OP.

If this is the case where is the level crossing?

Why on earth would you operate a van like this in these utterly atrocious conditions regardless of wht it's being used for?

Presumably the muppet who took the photo just drove across it.

Epic fail.

Well done.

The van even has a big Network Rail logo on it.

There should be a camera at every level crossing in the UK and anyone that passes the barriers when the red lights are flashing should be instantly banned.

The level crossing incident recently highlights the dangers.

I believe that driving with your car not properly cleared of frost/snow is punishable with a fine, and possibly so is driving without headlights in those conditions.

In which case they're punishing idiots biggrin and making money furious

Behind the camera car.

Why would it be anywhere else? All the cameras are pointed behind the cam car - if the level crossing was in shot, THEN it'd be a fail.

Why operate in these conditions? Probably because their job is to man a cam van at a level crossing, so they went and did their job. Do you think people stop acting like daft tts just because there's a bit of snow, or do you think they act more daft (because they're going slower and in a rush), or the same level of daft-ery that made the cam van necessary in the first place?
