PROSECUTION: Oulton Broad MCB

A motorist who overtook a line of waiting stationary cars at a barrier crossing in order to cross before the barriers descended has been jailed for four months.

Rickie Brown, 30, from Lowestoft had ignored the flashing red lights at Oulton Broad North MCB near Lowestoft during the evening rush-hour, Ipswich Crown Court heard. Overtaking three cars that had stopped, Brown 'zig-zagged' past the descending barriers. The signalman had made a note of Brown's registration number and he had later been interviewed by the police about the incident.

Here's a YouTube clip of the crossing in action:
