CCTV at a level crossing in Boża Wola, Poland captured a man on an electric scooter ignoring red signals and riding around a lowered barrier onto the tracks, braking to a halt centimetres from a passing train. He had overtaken a queue of stationary cars, and crossed again after the train had gone while the signals were still red.

Riding across again on a red afterwards makes no sense to me.

E-scooters are useful, but the rules haven't caught up.

Are there stats on the e-scooter share of European crossing incidents?

This is what makes all two-wheelers look bad. Infuriating.

Stopping centimetres short was luck. It won't happen twice.

He overtook a queue of cars to get there. That's deliberate.
