In my opinion what is worse than driving in front of a train is stoping to think abouti. <br /> <br />I mean If your gona floor it, floor it! <br /> <br />Poeple see the trains coming and think about if they should go across. By the time they decide to go across the tracks the train is 20 -30ft. away. <br /> <br />Others will put their car on the tracks and wait for the train to come and then "hit-the-gas" when it is almost too late. Some get hit and it is concidered suicide. <br /> <br /> <br />One other thing: <br />On the way to Chincoteage Va. (on the onter side of the Chesapeake Bay) there is a set of prety hight-tech crossing signals (only only lights, no gates) and on either side of the crossing you could fit only 2 & a half coalporters before they would go out of veiw. The thing is the gates dont work. they go on and off even if a train desent come. The thing is poeple can travel an hour to find the alternat roul that will set you back 5 hours when you get to were the roads meet again. <br />Trucks can't turn around there because of the trees so they just go on by. I has proven fatal 4 too many times.
