[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by CSXrules4eva</i> <br /><br />Humm this seems like a good idea, with respect to enforcement of safety at grade crossings. I do have a couple of questions though. <br /> <br />1. What would happen if you loned your car to a friend of family member, this person in your car runs through the grade crossing, and then you get a ticket in the mail. Now, personally this person shouldn't have to pay it since it was, someone (not the registerd owner driving the vehicle). Is the "cop in a box" going to do do a "face match to all the listed licenced drivers in the state, or country for that matter?? <br /> <br />2. What would happen in the case of the Grand Ave Incedent over in Chicago were several cars stoped on the tracks, while a train was bearing down on them? Is the "cop n a box" going to be able to take everyone's picture while the cars are lined up piled next to each other? Is this nessacaryilly (sp) a just cause for a ticket? - It could get pretty contraversial here. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />No one drives my vehicles except the wife and myself. If there is a need from someone for a good reason we might find a way to help but that person will be driven to and from the store or whatever until it is done. <br /> <br />If I got a ticket because someone else drove my car thru a crossing gate, I will find that person and have him served with a small claims suit to recover the lost funds. But again, No one drives our vehicles except the wife and me so there is not going to be this kind of problem. <br /> <br /> <br />Regarding the stopped traffic filling the intersection, I suspect mass impatience as everyone tries to get to work while shoving the fellow driver out of the way with elbowing and rib jabbing as commuters do in rush hour. <br /> <br />The final solution? <br /> <br />Elevate ALL Rail-Road Crossings. All of them 20 feet. Up above the road or elevate the road over the track, I dont care how they do it but get it done. <br />
