1258151 2012-02-11 20:35:00 It makes sense to stop and give way to a train at a crossing because trains are much bigger than cars and you stand little chance if you are hit by a train. Trains do take time to stop.

Down here trains crossing the road are a rare event so people tend to be complacent and forget to look out for trains at railway crossings. Warning bells should be placed on all crossings.

1258154 2012-02-12 00:47:00 Unfortunately Twelvevolts, none of those things are excuses for getting hit by a train.

No one said they were

It appears that people with white cars will have to be the subjects of a blitz - there's dozens of 'em been whacked, just on that one (non-)level crossing. The noise involved alone should be grounds for a white car product recall.

I think thats the crossing on Matua road north west of Huapai . I go over there quite often to fix earth moving equipment. Never seen anyone stop at the stop sign yet.

But no, we encourage this sort of crap, barely even a pretend slap on the hand, hes a positive guy after all.

I have about as much respect for vehicle drivers who drive straight accross railway crossings as I do for cyclists riding in the middle of the road!! Iantech (16386)
