Should have gone to Spec Savers.
http://www.cambstimes.co.uk/news/eld...ssing_1_954022
"The camper van ploughed into the second coach of the 1615 train to Downham Market. The accident happened as the camper van was travelling along the unmanned automatic half barrier level crossing the A10 Littleport by pass." I know this place well and the trains are slow moving at this time having just left the station, but they managed to hit the second coach??? Last edited by BigBaddad; 06-07-11 at 07:21 AM. |

Re: Should have gone to Spec Savers.
I'd nomiate him for a darwin award except they survived.
red flashing lights, barrier in the way and a huge great honking train in the way would kinda suggest not to ignore everything saying no and go for it anyway. |

Re: Should have gone to Spec Savers.
Its more common than you would think!
There's a job bike in need of some attention right now. The rider went between two bollards that were a bit narrower than the bike. Bent engine bars later, he has a specsavers sign on the team locker! Pete  PS, it wasn't me. |

Re: Should have gone to Spec Savers.
the barrier could have failed and not been engaged.
