It would be a funny old world…

… but only if the thought of a train hitting a car was not so scary.

Whilst looking on the HSE Website yesterday, I stumbled accross a report on Driver Actions at Level Crossings which only goes to show how people really do think… along with some interesting interpretation of the data (i.e. that the interviewees may well have been lying a lot of the time as they didnt want to admit to breaking the law…)

It causes an interesting scenareo. People try to beat the gates at level crossings, because they believe that there is loads of time between the lights starting to flash, and the train actually arriving. So what can you do? delay the train, to give them time to get clear? or make trains come sooner so there isnt as long a wait?…

Annother report looked at the break down of people involved in accidents on the roads by age/sex/education, and a number of other things. Isnt human nature amazing?
