Wow that video is egregious. That driver's license should honestly be suspended forever.
If you took away peoples licenses for that, you'd be taking away about 10-20% of drivers licenses. Most drivers don't pay attention when turning, most drivers don't plan ahead, and plenty of drivers run red lights. The only reason this doesn't happen more often is because most often those factors don't align together in front of a train...much more often they align on top of a pedestrian, but even then it's rare. Most often, it's just another car.
I had a friend who was moving to Toronto for a co-op, and I remember telling him he'd have to check the traffic report to know where the crashes are. He said "surely you mean if there are crashes" and I was like, nah, there are many every day, you just have to hope they aren't in your way.
People are completely numb and blind to the absolute carnage on the roads. All drivers are bad some of the time, even me, and I am absolutely militant about being careful and following the rules. It's dumb luck there aren't more crashes, and its this very dumb luck that convinces people they can drive this badly and not suffer any consequences.
So yeah, unfortunately, this is hardly unusually bad driving.
