A motorist has been filmed dicing with death as she swerves on to the wrong side of the road to race through a level crossing while the barriers come down above her head.
Daniella Nelson, 25, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention after the shocking incident was filmed in Cambridge in September last year.
Nelson overtook a silver Fiesta that was already parked in front of the crossing, ignoring red flashing lights and a klaxon in order to get to the other side.
