That has got to smart a bit.

Feel for the guy. The barrier clearly started closing before the red light showed. Plus it hardly stayed red for longer than 2 cars to pass.
We had an incident at work with a car barrier closing on a colleagues car when the barrier started closing on a green light but turned red, albeit too late. All caught on CCTV and work admitted liability and paid for all damages. Think this fella may have a claim pending!

Probably wrong but it made me laugh. It’s like he becomes a wereram for a sec and decides to head wrestle that bastard barrier.

The barrier dropping after the car has gone through is not an entirely unpredictable situation though 🙂

Far too fast given the possibilities

True dat. Never said he wasn’t a bit of a bell end

I’ve just spat my pint on the table.ha.
What was he thinking?

Think regardless of the lights colour, the barrier was coming down.

Was he leaving work? because he was in a real hurry.

Lucky to not break his neck imho.

I’m wondering if he even saw the barrier coming down; his head was down and he was looking straight ahead, probably saw the car go through and thought it was clear.
Found to the contrary the hard way. I lol’d. 😆

He miscalculated. His fault. I expect the company asked him to pay for the repairs.

Stravaaaaaargh!

From the speed he was going I would imagine this is his usual method of getting through the barrier rather than stopping and swiping like everyone else. One of those miscalculations – you know it’s going to be tight so you accelerate hard trying to make it but obviously significantly enhancing the pain penalty if you don’t! 😀

I suspect there is more to this.
Why is the rider already unclipped approaching the barrier?

He looks an idiot

or fit better brakes! 😆

or a stronger barrier!

Technically not bike related but this is still a classic
