Immage censored for obvious reasons. Its another day and of course another car Driver deciding to Take a Turn Right in Front of a light Rail Train. I just cant understand why, These things a big and Bright yellow or Are people Doing This on purpose trying to outrun the Train for a couple second of time saved?
Maybe it was hard to spot this small thing coming on their left
Charitably, it may be a signal fault.
The real problem is how many people are inconvenienced by one car, when a train is in a collision.
It's amazing how impatient drivers are. What's even more crazy, is that driving really fast, even to pass somebody, usually only saves you less than a minute of time. For what? So you can doom scroll even longer? If you really want time to doom scroll, ride public transit.
You can’t fix stupid. I live in south Florida near the deadliest stretch of railway in the country. There are crossing arms, bells, and lights at every intersection that I have on multiple occasions watched drivers ignore and drive around. I saw one very, very near miss and the aftermaths of several not-so misses. The Brightline that was originally supposed to average about 70mph (115k/h) now operates at 40 (65 k/h)
I bet this person was looking at their phone and didn’t even think about looking for the train. That’s what I’m seeing for most accidents like this these days.
"LRT is dangerous"
Fine the driver the full cost of repairs plus 10% and allow train passengers to sienfir damages of this made them late to something important.
Or just actually make a civilized society and ban cars as personal transportation.
Its Surprising that there was a train there
