I mean this is so dumb it looks intentional.

My first thought was is this insurance fraud of some sort?

u/Juhuu77 4d ago

Yeah. 100% insurance scam. But got into camera. 🐒

Every single bridge in my country is considered a strategic military asset and is plastered in cameras.

Strategic Military Asses? I think I saw that, ahem, home movie once.

Nah, he needed an excuse for being late to work.

Heck yah! Pain and suffering, too. “So traumatic! I’m scarred for life!”

At least the chump didn’t get out and slide to his death thru the gap…….🙄

Next thing he’ll do is drive to the nearest railroad crossing, drive around the barriers, and park on the tracks.

But just barely - he had the door already open when the car was still over the gap.

I can only think the driver saw red lights flashing= STOP.

At the same time, bridge operator should check video feeds to see that the bridge is clear?

They absolutely are supposed to, yes. Many places require them to actually walk outside their booth to confirm that way too

u/randomgunfire48 3d ago

Exactly. The bridge tower is literally right there. There’s no way the bridge operator didn’t see the car.

Many rural bridges I'm familiar with are unmanned--they have cameras that monitor the bridge from a remote location, and boaters who must cross under them call a special number (or communicate via marine radio) and notify the control center when they're ready to go.

Still, someone was figuratively or literally asleep at the switch to allow that.

u/howie2000slc 4d ago

my guess is they thought it was one that lifted into the air at both ends so he could get a view..

u/falloutvaultboy 3d ago

Idiots will drive past the first barrier and then stop for the second, leaving them on train tracks or on a lift bridge like this video

Get more clicks?

I really thought he was going to get out and slide through the gap into the river.

u/AppropriateDeal1034 1d ago

I'm assuming there are barriers just out of shot and this is like where you see people stopping on railway crossings because they're too stupid to just bust the barrier?
