At this stop, passengers get out of the street tram, and the drivers following it should stop.But this time the driver opened the door on his left, instead of on the right, releasing people opposite the driving cars.- he forgot to switch the controller.The misfortune was close.Glory of the driver for driving slowly - a spokesman for Silesian trams comments on the video from the event.

The dangerous situation occurred on May 31 after 2pm in Świętochłowice.Mr. Rafał on the way to his daughter to the nursery, on Łagiewnicka Street, he saw a tram from the opposite direction.The vehicle moved around the tracks in the middle.

The stop is not safe - pedestrians get on the road and have to go to the pavement.As Andrzej Zowada says, a spokesman for Silesian trams, drivers driving after the tram are then required to stop and pass pedestrians.

The tackles adds that the tram door usually opens on the right, i.e. according to the direction of driving.Rarely on the left, just like on a video, which was recorded on May 31 by Mr. Rafał's car camera.As we can see in the video, passengers got straight under the hood of his car.
