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?

    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.

      that’s why, if i were elected supreme dictator of earth, one of my first decrees would be that drivers have to reimburse the passengers for their delay and pay for any damages on the transport vehicle/infrastructure.
      Also: 5 repeats of this and you lose your license permanently, and the state will punish you further by giving you a 5-year free public transport pass for the entire country. Oh how i love being evil.

        5 incidents is too generous. If you hit a tram twice at fault, it’s done.

        Same for people driving without lights at night (maybe the 5 applies here)
