People have gotten more and more selfish. That's why many people refer to the current generation as the "ME" generation.
So they drive around the railroad crossings, because they are only thinking about the "me" behind the wheel and getting to where they want to go.

a lot of human beings do no longer understand how briskly trains shuttle and it particularly is confusing to decide a custom's velocity. Many crossing have undesirable visibility for highway site visitors so the gate is down, drivers do no longer see something or hear something and that they think of they might probability going around. human beings work together in all varieties of risky habit. i'm surprised at how in many situations drivers think of that if there is sufficient space to often get in the time of a railroad crossing that site visitors will easily pass before a custom arrives and that they might get out of ways. I holiday by utilising practice and stay alongside the Caltrain suitable of way. in the time of the direction of the final 3 years I even have seen a locomotive strike the final 5 ft of a semi trailer, and been on a custom that grew to become into ft faraway from hitting a vehicle caught on the tracks at a provide up gentle. in the time of the 1st a million/2 of 2006 over 8 human beings have died as pedestrians or drivers while hit by utilising a Caltrain holiday practice. it particularly is extremely confusing on the operators while their practice kills somebody. Pedestrian injuries may be very gruesomer.

I agree with Bryan K. Nobody likes to sit and wait for the train to pass. You never know how many cars there are being pulled by the locomotive itself.

because they don't like to wait for the train to pass so they try to beat the trains. the bad thing about it is you can not judge the trains speed and that can put you right in the trains nose.

people will assume the train is traveling slow and they will
make it across the tracks before the train comes, a lot people
have found out differently and have paid for with their lives

They think that they will get past the tracks before the train arrives.
