backstory:
a woman (60) was going to get her grandchildren from school. at some point she encountered a closed road at the railway crossing due to construction works. instead of taking a different route, the woman removed the construction zone fences on one side of the road and kept on driving. after this she encountered another construction fence on the other side of the railway. it is at this point that the video starts.
as the woman wants to remove the second set of fences. the bell for the oncoming train goes off. this strikes fear into the woman. it also doesn't help that the construction worker is telling her that she will be fined for this. this increasing panic puts the woman in a shock like state. the construction worker removes the second set of fences so the woman can pas. (it is believed) when the woman opens the car door, the car puts itself in park brake mode. when she closes the door again and wants to get away she has the instinct to put the car in drive, but the parking brake wont allow the car to move (hence the revving engine). it is moments later that the woman is hit by the train as she is still too shocked to think clearly and get out in time.
the woman survived.
however there exists another video of her removing the first set of fences. this video seems to be removed from the internet. without the first video it would seem like the woman casually drove in to the construction zone. the video used here (the second video) is also the "go to" video that the media uses as it seems to shift the blame to the construction worker for not helping her.
i will be giving out a 569 coin reward for anybody who can find the first video
as for the people claiming this is a repost:

She was retarded enough to cut through construction barriers and too retarded to put her car in drive under slight stress. She's way past her expiration date, for the sake of others around her

One wouldn't automatically know that the car engaged the parking brake. Honestly I have never heard of this. I can put my car in drive while the parking brake is engaged. Older cars had a big hand that would be pulled up so you couldn't miss it, but newer cars have a switch that is very similar to a power window switch. There is no obvious sign other than a light on the dashboard. With a train coming she probably never even looked at the dash. I am guessing that a safety feature she was unaware of is what kept her on the tracks. If I open the door on my car while in drive the car does nothing and will let me keep driving.
All that said she moved a road block to get to that point. So my sympathy is a bit limited.

Yeah, but there is a time and a place for everything. When someone is on a railway track with a train bearing down on them it isn't time for a road rules lesson.

I hate new cars for features like this. When I first got my qx80 a year or so ago I was this close to returning it, but it's mostly for my wife. I couldn't figure out how to start put the shit in reverse and when I did it felt like driving a down syndrome boat. She had a 2018 x3 before that and I couldn't drive that shit either. I stick with my 2016 challenger (which still has some newer car bullshit) and refuse to buy anything newer anymore. I'll be sticking to mid 2010 cars at the latest. They feel too automated these days. I miss just having a gas pedal, break pedal, clutch and radio. Nav system helps but most people use their phones these days. When I was in grade 11 in 2010 and got my license my dad bought me an Infiniti g37. That was the last car I actually enjoyed without any of the modern (in)conveniences.

She was a fucking dumbass but it still pisses me off that the Mercedes wouldn't move with the door open. What a shitty “safety” feature. Reminds me of how my car won't allow me to turn off the headlights while the engine is running and it's dark out. Of course under normal conditions I'd never drive with my headlights off. But there's no override if I need to cut the lights because I'm trying to hide from someone. Soon we'll have cars that won't allow you to violate the speed limit, even if something crazy is happening like escaping a tornado, or if a person with bad road rage is chasing you, or a blue light bandit pulled you over.

because you are overly empathetic and feel like you could do something this dumb, which you are most likely not this dumb to drive through an active workzone with signs and decide to park on train tracks that are in service. she is older and knows better. if she doesn't then she is not capable of following traffic laws
Jump in the discussion.

Fair point. I don't think her actions were justified or that anyone could just make this ‘oopsie silly me' mistake. Just the way she was crying and probably in shock and the guy kept yelling at her after the ‘accident' already happened. She was probably just in a panic and wasn't able to get the car started or didn't see the sign idk. Car accidents are scary.

Which is exactly why driving tests should have to be retaken every 5 years once you hit retirement age. As we get older our reaction times and perception get worse. That's why our grandmas drives like a turtles haha. All you have to do now is pass a simple eye test

His first priority should've been to get her out of the car, instead he rambled some bullshit about her getting fined when she was literally FACING DEATH. When I was studying my driver's handbook for my written test there were literal procedures on how to deal with a situation exactly like this. If you drive onto tracks and are unable to move your car then you gotta get your ass out ASAP and then head faaar away from the tracks, ideally diagonally from the direction of the train to minimize getting struck by debris. Depending on where you are there are also numbers posted on railroad signs that you can use to call the railroad company to let them know your car is in the way. I know that anxiety was probably making it hard for both of them to think clearly but cmon this is like the first thing I was taught in driving school.

That sounds like a "her" priority lol why is her life his responsibility all of a sudden? She's a grown ass human being who's liver for at least 50 something years can't understand the danger of oncoming train while they sit on the tracks. I'd expect this reaction to danger from a child what if her grandkids were in the car they'd be dead right now

I'm not saying that her life is his responsibility, but she was clearly in shock and not thinking clearly. If the guy was already approaching her and trying to get her off the tracks then he could've done a bit more to reason with her and get her out the car.

sure dude, maybe you should leave yours more often so you get a bit more in touch with reality. Theres tons of people with various conditions that would cause them panic in a situation like this. Luckily most people arent retarded enough to put themselves in that position in the first place but on which world is her panicking about 5000 tons of steel moving towards her the problem and not that she got there in the first place??
my mom doesnt dare to drive any roads she doesnt know to cause she gets the same kind of freezes as this woman. My moms supposed to be locked up cause she has ptsd? nah man go touch grass for a bit, please.

...except this could've very easily been avoided if she just...hadn't moved the fences and driven into an construction area. What did she think those fences were there for, pretty roadside decoration? Usually they do signal that there's a, you know, construction being underway. Just don't drive there, problem solved.
Your mom's going about it in a safe kinda way - she knows she panicks, which does suck for her (not panicking at all woul dbe the best solution for everyone, ofc), but she makes sure the risk of getting into a situation where it could result in someone getting harmed is as low as can be.
Imho the issue in the original video isn't the panicking, it's the willfully getting into a stupid-ass decision and THEN panicking on top of it.

mate u missed my point cause i totally agree with you. had a problem with the proposal to keep anyone like that locked in their house, idk why i even feel the need to explain why thats retarded.
but yeah the whole problem is the woman getting herself into that position in the first place - whatevers fucked in her brain, its not her panic response

lets just pretend we are still debating this topic, cause you do seem to be trying to make a point. I agree with you that people that pose obvious risks should probably not drive - this wasnt your initial genius idea though, you know, the keep all panicky ppl locked in their home bit? btw the way you insult people is (autistic as fuck) cheers dude
