[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by dekemd</i> <br /><br />Forgot to put this in the other post. <br /> <br />The lights were standard traffic lights aimed down a straight road. Like I said before the other approx 120000 people didn't have a problem. For that matter, how many times a day does someone cross railroad tracks in the US? 5 million? 6 million? Using your 3 death a day figure, that works out to 1 death in 2 million. While tragic, that's not exactly a crisis. <br /> <br />Derrick <br />[/quote]It works out that trains kill 75 people to normal drivers 1 per miles traveled. <br /> <br />Like I said are they big enough bright enough? 2 collisions in four months means something is wrong. You gonna get the problem fixed or hastle the drivers paying your wages? Where was the box truck? Does model car have blind spots with the window posts mirrors etc..., was there sun reflections off something? Was the cross traffic whistling???
