The vehicle bounced as it climbed onto the tarmac at the crossing, where other drivers were waiting behind the barrier.
The driver then made a sharp 90-degree left turn, dodging the barrier and driving off as if nothing unusual had happened.
The footage was shared by Infrabel – the company responsible for building, maintaining, and managing Belgium’s railway infrastructure – on Monday (29 Dec).
“Sometimes crazy things happen on our tracks,” they wrote, urging the public to report dangerous situations.
The reckless stunt took place in Mouscron, near Lille, France, as reported by Need To Know.
The footage has now been handed over to police, who are investigating.
Social media users had fun in the comments.
Hans wrote: “His Google Maps was still set to public transport.”
Tom joked: “Shock absorber test: check.”
Jel said: “I get it – sometimes the railway feels smoother than most Belgian highways.”
Alex quipped: “Average Peugeot driver.”
And Filip added: “To end the year in style, why not.”
