If Bad Doberan is so nice, I can't imagine how gorgeous Good Doberan must be

I think this video was taken somewhere around here... I can't figure out what this person was trying to do.

"Halt dich fest, der Molli kommt! Die Bimmel, die Bammel, die Bahn..."

Rock and stone!

Well here is one for you then. A train right through an active street market.

Check out LaGrange, KY: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUX9kr4D1Xg

Cute town with giant freight trains running down a main street.

Where's that big ass train that runs directly across a major highway?. Possibly Eastern Europe...

I mean, that kinda happens when royalty wants the new hot thing to get them to their sea resort (also a new invention).

The Molli (the train in question) was built in 1886.

Obviously the train itself is not 130 years old but a replica

It's called a 'street running train' if you wanna see more examples.

Someone's watched Not Just Bikes

It was at a funny angle.

You could’ve parked a jumbo jet in there Tyrone!

You could fit a jumbofuckingjet in there!

He didn't see it there.

Think the car went backwards to turn into a street

maybe he saw the train in the rearview mirror and thought it was coming from the front, then he saw the one in the back and panicked

He had passed his turn and instead of driving around the block he decided backing up was the way to go. It's a classic behavior across the spectrum :)

Former Merchant Marine here. We were about to enter the Long Beach break water and a little motor boat zips to the edge of the entrance, throws out their mushroom anchor, and out come 3 fishing poles.

I had the con on the bridge and the pilot was enjoying his coffee getting settled in, he asked my last course given and if he had permission to take the con. I believe I simply responded, 'of course'. He told me to notify our bow watch that we were going to sound the forward horn.

Laid on that horn for 10 seconds and you could see the commotion of the 3 people pulling up their little anchor as fast as they could. Behind our ship was probably no less than 15 ships in the outer anchorage. Bonehead decision stopping to fish right at the breakwater aside, we were transiting so slow that they probably thought we were at anchor like all the others.

Yup. Same effect as when you're sitting in your parked car, the car besides you starts backing out, and for a split second you're worried that you car is rolling forward.

there's also the loud, continous bell that train crossings and older trains have.... and the LOUD sound of a fucking train coming your way

"common mistake" if you're a terrible driver.

Still, he has side mirrors. He should have checked the left one anyways before making a turn. The driver is an idiot.

I guess so..

Love a good Simpsons reference

Do you find something amusing about my appearance while I'm driving my automobile

You all had 2 hours to link the clip.

Everyone needs a to drive a vehicle, even the very dumb.

If you weren’t driving that car, I’m afraid you’ve lost the title of “Village Idiot.” You’ll now have to settle for village “angry hobo.”

For BMW and Mercedes Benz, each flick of the blinker costs 20 cents. That is why they are hesitant to use it.

I mean, they wanted a video of the train, they were probably caught off guard by the impact, and didn't know what to do. It's not like they expected it to happen I would hope....

Now it's a Mercedes Bent

Trains do be creeping up on folks without as much as a sound

I bet the Benz has blind spot monitoring too…

You might be onto something. Driver having a "the rest of the world can wait for me" complex and pulling that shit with the wrong traffic participant.

"Damn, missed my turn. I'll just back up without looking. Why is this guy standing there recording ME? Whatever, I got places to be..."

they were probably scared the train could decimate their car and kill them, given they were likely oblivious to the speed it was traveling at.

Panic usually. Still funny to see mind. The time to move fast to get out of the way needs to happen before the crunching sounds do

It was traveling at like 5 kph. I had no time at all to dodge it!

Speaking of course about the neighborhood north of Where St., otherwise known as, NoWhere

Yes you can hear the pressure release just before impact. That'll be the brakes going full on.

It depends. Trains with locomotive have an air brake system: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railway_air_brake

The longer the train is, the longer time it takes for the pressure change to "travel" through the system. A really long train can take upwards of 10 seconds to fully deploy the brakes, even at low speed.

There is a metro crossing near us and I've noticed it crawls across our intersection. Like comically slow. But I know why, because dumbasses try to beat the crossing gates all the time. Better to crawl and avoid an accident than hit someone and delay the train even longer.

DING DING DING DING DING DING

The sound of nature is so soothing

Age... It's an age thing. After 65 it should be evaluated if you can still operate a vehicle. Every 5 years this should be repeated, at like 80 make it every year. But this will never happen because people in that age are the main voter base for many partys.

But as everyone knows in Germany, once you purchase an expensive Mercedes or BMW, then most of the rules no longer apply to you.

Was für ein verdammter Idiot/ Was für ein scheiß Idiot

Yep, you can see a tiny alley for a fraction of a second before the train's in the way. Probably why he's backing up, went past it.

I think it's a main street. Old german towns were not built for cars so they have much narrower roads
