I don't know whether to condemn their stupidity, or admire their timetable knowledge skills...The study, commissioned for International Level Crossing Day (Ilcad) on June 6, which this year is targeted at professional drivers, found 23% admitted that if they knew the train timetable and did not believe a train was due to arrive, they would drive over a level crossing.
The most common reasons cited for taking the risk was running late to make a delivery (12%) or a desire to finish work and get home early (16%), despite an overwhelming majority of drivers knowing that they are required to stop for the warning lights at level crossings.
