Another idiot driver post

But I struggle to find out what part of train coming do drivers not understand? Who on earth would want to risk taking on a huge locomotive? Especially those that don't have insurance?

Flashing red lights, bells ringing, barriers coming down, yet that still doesn't prevent the brainless. I've even read in the report and also from todays news ont tele that they're actually overtaking stopped cars, weaving in and out of the barriers etc, to get ahead. Alarming is putting it mildly?

I doubt it'll ever happen but a nice huge fine would hopefully put them off from risking their own lives. I've seen it happen once on Montreal Street here where someone has weaved between barriers missing a train by about 10 seconds. Very close near miss

What goes on in their mind to risk their life just because of a few seconds?

I can only assume that they are after a Darwin Award . If it wasn't for others being negatively impacted by their stupidity, I'd be more than happy for them to succeed.

Same cabbages who don't give immediate, absolute priority to emergency vehicles probably . It's staggering that the mouth breathing retards that can pass a driving test when day-to-day you wouldn't trust them with a potato peeler.

Sounds like a line from my favourite advert with the lady in the Chinese takeaway .... looking, looking, looking, lady if you can't operate eftpos machine, how can you drive a car?
