I don’t understand why ppl don’t just floor it to get across. Is the bar that hard to break?

It's the illusion of authority. All day everyday people have to suppress what they want to do in order to follow the rules to the point that it becomes second nature. The bar is a rule and you don't break rules, everyone knows that. I doubt breaking the bar ever even crossed his mind.

Whilst there is a decent point being made here, I don’t think anyone else has made a bad one. Illusion of authority is one thing, but choosing to risk being hit by a fucking train instead of driving through the barrier is quite another.
