MODERATORS
Some places know their drivers and have some serious barriers popping up.
I kind want to see what that does to a car that doesn't stop. Probably rips their front wheels off
Just need a bigger car, then it's fine
Holy shit how many idiots had to turn themselves into pancakes for this level of barriers to be justified? Insanity.
There shouldn't be any barriers at railway crossings. Let natural selection win. Do we really want a future full of people who don't have the brains to give way to a train?
The barriers are to guard against the delays, traffic jams and paperwork a crash would cause.
And the trauma of the train driver hitting the car.
A car on the tracks can cause the train to derail, potentially killing many people.
