Tik Tok Video on Level Crossing

Likely outcome ?
Network Rail and BTP are investigating.
Not sure what there is to investigate as the knobbers registration is clearly visible in the video.
Perhaps the best thing to do would be for BTP to force the owner to re-pose for this photo.....as the 07:38 goods train rumbles through.
The downside is that this could be seen as a waste of a perfectly good VW.
On the positive side, Tik Tok sheep (on seeing the ensuing carnage and the death of the driver) might then think twice about replicating the stunt . . .

It is a diesel... not sure if that would change your opinion.. . However it would certainly do the world some good. The downside is that this could be seen as a waste of a perfectly good VW.

Ah. In that case the BTP will be literally killing two birds with one (large freight related) stone. Win win?Is the owner on here...? Has this exploded on whatever VeeDub forum the owner uses? Annoyingly its quite a nice pic (albeit taken in a very stupid location)
The man with the VW is clearly a retard.
He should watch this clip from Top Gear if he wants to see a likely outcome. Typical Jeremy Clarkson silliness but the underlying message is quite dramatic.

Not really sure of the outrage here, other than being a nobber naturally enough.
So:
1. Checks timetable - no trains Sunday say. (checks them all, frieght and so on)
2. Posts look outs just in case, long line with several minutes warning.
3. Leaves engine running
4. Jumps out, pushes remote control
5. All the time listening for sirens and flashing lights etc.
No more dangerous than old person walking over the junction...
Now clearly did none of the above and normal pistonheads rules apply etc etc
However complete non story.

I'm amazed some people here think it's acceptable.
I have little faith in humanity. Even less now.
I dare you to find the post in this thread that says it's acceptable.I have little faith in humanity. Even less now.
I think everyone has agreed that the bloke is a bellend, but some of us don't see it as appallingly dangerous, and liable to lead to the end of Western Civilisation.
