Level Crossing

I know there’s great protest against level railway crossings and that they’re considered dangerous and blah blah blah. I’ve even seen those scary as hell videos of a person running in-front of one train right into the next oncoming. Or those cars that figure the crossing signal doesn’t “count” for them and dodge around it only to be plowed a kilometre sideways as their car turns to scrap.

Top Gear did a great segment on it, which basically illustrates my point; are you bat-fucking nuts to go toe-to-toe with a train? Old people forgiven, look both ways when you’re crossing the tracks – listen when they say running in-front of a train is dangerous – THEY ARE NOT JOKING! A train weighs approximately a gajillion tonnes and inertia alone will either
A. ker-splat you into oblivion
b. comically propel you across the continent, possibly (if you’re lucky) head-first into the ladies change room.

This has been a JVL public safety notice.
