- A driver in Glendale, Ohio was caught on camera speeding over a bumpy railroad crossing, prompting a quick response from local police.
There’s a certain kind of confidence that comes with driving the same road every single day. You know every bump, every pothole, every place where the pavement dips just enough to make your stomach do a little flip if you’re going too fast. Apparently, one driver in Glendale, Ohio either forgot about the railroad crossing on their daily route or decided that particular afternoon was the day to find out what their sedan could really do.
The moment was caught on camera and shared by the folks at Virtual Railfan, a page that keeps an eye on train crossings around the country and, evidently, catches plenty of other action along the way. According to the post, this kind of thing happens more often than you’d expect at this particular crossing, which honestly tracks. Some roads just have that one spot that turns into an unofficial stunt ramp.
In the video, several cars cross the tracks at a reasonable, sensible pace, the kind of driving your grandmother would approve of. Then comes our star of the show, absolutely not slowing down for the bumpy crossing. The car catches a bit of air, lands with a wobble, and fishtails slightly as it continues down the hill. If this were a driving test, we’re guessing that’s an automatic fail…
