The first couple I couldn't blame the driver -- it looks like the gates went up, then 3 seconds later they came down again! And the vehicle was stuck in between two of them. Not exactly fair. I'm thinking "what the heck?"
I refer to 0:40 and 1:28 for example. Both are in Poland. How about keeping up those stereotypes about Poles being stupid!

A few of them showed a lack of common sense and brains -- I mean, if you go through the barrier by accident or whatever then GO -- don't try to back up through the barrier that closed behind you "to follow the law perfectly" or some crap. That ship has sailed, sister. Hit the gas and get out of there.
I think a few of them had this problem -- I call it "sh*t or get off the pot". Don't get stuck in the middle paralyzed by indecision.

Girlies seem to do this the most.

The barriers are designed to be destroyed easily by a car, so that if you are stuck inside, you are able to get out just by pushing through

Some people have no concept at all that a single locomotive weighs over 100 tons all by itself, not to mention when it is pulling an additional 10s of 1000s of tons of rail cars that will end up pushing it through whatever gets in its way, and often can take a whole mile, or even more to stop depending on it's speed.

Just wait till it passes.
