Here’s one more head-scratching accident from, where else, but mother Russia. If you see that there’s a problem with a retractable metal blockade that pops up from the road at a railway crossing, and there are people standing around and pushing it down with their feet, what would you do as a driver waiting in line? Why, you would try to go around it, right? Yes, and if anything else, you’d drive slowly.
The driver of the older generation BMW 7-Series seen in this entertaining dashcam footage shot in the outskirts of Moscow did nothing of the above. Instead, he pushed the pedal to the metal and wedged his Bimmer between the barrier and the empty space underneath it….
To get it out of the sticky situation, the BMW driver had to call in a backhoe, which pretty much finished off the damage to the car.
