Level crossing near miss

Carryfast:
I don’t get the connection between how a worker had any authority to ‘wave’ him across the crossing,with the lights and gates all working as normal and a train approaching this cluster zb at normal speed.If I was the driver of the truck I’d have told this ■■■■■■ to do one I’m going nowhere until the lights go off first.

The worker wouldn’t have had any authority to wave him across and will probably have lost his job over it. Seeing as if the lorry didn’t get freed and reversed back it could have been a massive rail disaster with people dead.
