’Don’t be a plonker’, police say of car reversing THROUGH barriers at level crossing

British police had no nice words to say about this driver who put himself and train passengers in danger by crashing through the barriers at a level crossing - backwards.

A yellow Reliant Robin - the famous three-wheeled British car - sped through the closing barriers and across the train tracks - before the driver apparently changed his mind, reversing through the closed barriers, causing thousands in damage, and getting stranded in the danger zone.
