I'd pray for death if I was "that guy" though.]]>Mar 14th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 2:06PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/but this guy is a true jakas for driving on the tracks.
but then again, this may be some Romainian custom or something]]>Mar 14th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 1:38PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 1:49PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/
Yesterday morning the Champlain Bridge (Montreal) was jammed really good and the signs said that there was a car stalled in the left lane.

As my bus (unaffected) rode over the kilometre long bridge I couldn't help wonder where "that guy" was ...

He, and his Mercedes ML, were 20 feet away from the emergency lane.

As the radio announcer put it, c'mon get out and push the damn thing.]]>Mar 14th 2008 1:53PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 2:15PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/
And the jam he caused lasted only a few minutes... big deal. It is lame to call him stupid. To sum up situation for those with ADD: guy's car breaks down, he has nowhere to go but to the space in between the railroad tracks. He calls towing. Towing truck arrives, and maneuvring it in the middle of dense traffic causes a jam, which eventually gathers a crowd which eventually stalls the traffic. The guy gets towed within a few minutes, which makes this jam, situation, video and autoblog comment about 2/10 on a scale of big-dealness.]]>Mar 14th 2008 2:24PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/
It's obvious that his car was fine BEFORE he stopped on the tracks. You can see him try to keep going before beaching it on the track.

He was trying to skip traffic...plain and simple, by being an idiot.]]>Mar 14th 2008 3:10PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/
I have to go with carmaniac here and assume you didn't actually watch the video, let alone read the entire post. Your posit of a broken down car doesn't fly either: he clearly had forward motion in the car, whilst on the tracks.

"guy's car breaks down, he has nowhere to go but to the space in between the railroad tracks". Seriously? Nowhere to go but in the path of trains is better than blocking one lane of a two lane road?

And look again, he is NOT in the space between the tracks, he is stuck straddling a rail, making this statement even more ludicrous, "He decided to put his car in between the tracks, not on them, which probably had enough space for a car not to pevent trains from passing. If you can see the train sopped because of the crowd, not because the car itself was on the tracks.". There are TWO tracks. Sure one direction is not stopped, but the other quite clearly is, and you can even see the train stopped in the later frames.

I certainly hope you show better judgment on the road than your statement would imply.]]>Mar 14th 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 4:17PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 5:04PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 5:16PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 15th 2008 7:42PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 2:26PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Mar 14th 2008 2:27PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/
Even when he was driving ok on the tracks, he was still going slower than the congested traffic right next to him. What a tard.]]>Mar 14th 2008 2:30PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/14/video-being-that-guy-in-romania/Unfortunately not always there is someone with a camera.
I lived ther till a year ago when I moved here in Toronto and even at its worse Toronto traffic is a blessing compared to Bucharest.]]>Mar 14th 2008 7:57PM
