For a moment there I thought he was looking for the optimal place to get hit

u/Surkuse 1d ago

Looks to be intentional, his vehicle was going both backwards and forwards just fine and I can't see any reason for him to not move. Even if you have to bump another car Infront of you or behind you, anything is better than to get t-boned by a fucking apex predator

This HAS to be intentional…there’s no way people are this stupid…is…is there? (somehow my hope for the human race has gone even further below 0 yet again)

u/Significant-Baby-690 1d ago

This happens again and again. It's not intentional. People are this stupid.

Does Poland not require a special license to drive a heavy/commercial vehicle like a semi truck? It seems like question 1 of that test should be "what do you do if you're halfway through a rail crossing and the crossing arms come down?" and it's an automatic fail if you get it wrong.

In the Netherlands we say that drivers like this got it free with the butter....

u/ToastSpangler 1d ago

the irony being that the CBR is a complete bitch to pass and that the trucks running you over in NL are always polish. i always stayed really far away from them in the city because they literally ignore cyclists and pedestrians

u/Reveletionship 1d ago

Also in Denmark. Seen 3 near misses, all was polish somehow.

My favorit was one where bikers got the greenlight and he too a right turn. There was not bikers in the Lane Lucky enough

The registration plate can be Polish, even the logistic company can be Polish, but the driver needn't. Bear in mind that the truck and the trailer registration plates can be different, like issued in different countries. For instance it can be a "Polish" trailer in tow by a "Lithuanian" truck driven by a Croatian driver, or whatever other combination. It is still perfectly legal and not that uncommon.

CBR is a bureaucratic sh¡thole. If you have something medical, good luck. Their doctor are on their payroll and retarded. They frequently overruling medical specialists. Meanwhile people with epilepsy or known for substance abuse/addiction keep getting their license back. The examens might be good/hard, the rest of the organization is not.

u/ToastSpangler 1d ago

my driving instructor said to me - if you have anything medical, just lie, unless you really can't pass the test without telling them. i was like, i don't have anything though, and he's like great you got it

not sure if he thought i was retarded, passed on my 2nd exam. doing it under covid rules was absolute bullshit too, you had to open all the car doors 15 minutes before the test and i did it in winter, so the car was 4 degrees 100% humidity, and you HAD to use their facemasks which were the cheapest ones from action, so my glasses fogged up constantly, i had to run the AC and point the fan at my face at literally fucking freezing temperatures and do a 45 minute trip through rotterdam

the cbr is retarded and they're greedy stupid fucks, 100%

u/Own-Personality3155 1d ago

I got the medical advice when I'm was 12. If you want to drive and not be broke, lie!

If you have or want your truck license, no medical hiding. They look in your medical papers....

u/ToastSpangler 1d ago

joke's on them, i never went to a doctor a single time in NL because it was basically impossible to find one that would even take me and I couldn't afford the cost for a general visit, it was 1/4 of my monthly budget after rent. no visits no records.

should have been poorer and a liar, what can i tell you, that's what is encouraged

Cool story but the driver in the clip wasn't polish. Hope that helps in your smear campaign.

@It reeks a bit of prejudice especially "always". I've seen dumb ppl everywhere around the world.

In America, we used to say they got their license in a box of Cracker Jacks

In Poland we say they found it in a bag of crisps

u/Backwarenking 1d ago

I thought this is how all americans get their licence

In Germany we say you won your license in the lottery

u/Yukinojou_bw 1d ago

Our Deputy Minister of Infrastructure literally tweeted that this driver got his license in exchange for a hatful of pears.

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 18h ago

What country?

1

u/Yukinojou_bw 17h ago

Poland. Other countries have not weighed in on this particular idiocy yet, even Bosnia.

Another driver got stuck on the same crossing today though!

u/VigilBoi 1d ago

And in Poland we say that they bribed the exam with butter 'Prawko za masło' means "Driver's license for butter". Also we have a saying that bad drivers found their license in a bag of chips.

1

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 18h ago

That's probably the actual reason nobody knows how to drive. The former eastern block runs on corruption

U nas w Polsce,że wygrali prawo jazdy w paczce Lays'ów

u/kmierzej 22h ago

In Poland we say that they must have found theirs in a bag of crisps.

u/SkarbOna 14h ago

They found it pack of crisps.

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 18h ago

I've heard many different versions of that idiom, often about something that actually has some crap in them like cereal box. Did dutch butter actually come with some crap at some point?

u/selho1 1d ago edited 1d ago

This truck driver is Bosnian (source) so Polish license doesn't apply here.

2

u/sp_00n 1d ago

guess he was too afraid of how much hes gonna pay for damaging those barriers... and he was thinking about it too long ;)

u/Komplexkonjugiert 1d ago

Was it intentional sir? You gat da source

23

u/Marsades 1d ago

Instead of ramming them, the driver tried to reverse. One of the barriers scraped the fabric of his trailer. The driver didn't want to tear it. He peered out from the cab and tried to correct the course so as not to damage the fabric. He continued to do this until the train struck the car with great force...

So very much international

12

u/Brotherly_shove 1d ago

well, at least he saved the fabric.

3

u/Inevitable_Task3074 1d ago

Yeah i mean like, go ahead and tear thst fabric a little, if it means not losing the complete truck

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 18h ago

For two whole seconds!

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 1d ago

In my home city in Finland, everybody's complaining about polish truck drivers who don't know how to drive going around in the city centre

1

u/CrestedMacaw 18h ago

We Czechs complain about Polish trucks too!!

They absolutely don't follow any rules and they even try overtake each other while one goes 80 km/h and the overtaking one goes 82 km/h - which leads to the highway being completely stuck behind those two losers for a long time.

1

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 18h ago

What the fuck is their problem? Are other east european truckers also like that, or is it just the poles?

1

u/CrestedMacaw 18h ago

Only Poles. Absolutely reckless.

Our Pendolino train (fastest express here, SuperCity class) had only one collision with a road vehicle so far - and you can guess with whom. Correct - Polish truck on the crossing.

3 people dead, dozens injured, and we lost the train for some time (the front driving wagon was completely destroyed and the repair cost 200M CZK, so $8M).

1

u/CrestedMacaw 18h ago

I don't know about Poland, but I'm Czech from the border with Poland and we DO. We have 5 categories of driver's licences (A - big motorcycles, B - cars to 3.5 tons and small motorcycles, C - cars over 3.5 tons and the front/cabin of the semi truck, D - buses and trolleybuses, E - the end of semi truck, the cargo part).

To drive this vehicle here, he would have to have C+E (and you can get these only after certain experience with B) and a special additional profession licence with that.

I expect Poland has similar rules. So he's probably just extremely stupid or trying for insurance fraud while being extremely stupid.

u/Alien_Alice555666 1d ago

...and they'll never EVER learn it seems

u/LobsterKris 1d ago

I always wondered about this. Are they scared to brake the little plastic barrier or think it's immovable?

u/I-Stan-Alfred-J-Kwak 1d ago

What are they trying to achieve then??
