The Dangers of Train Accidents
Unfortunately, accidents with trains do happen and we see more and more of these videos every day. This video perfectly shows the amount of destruction that a train can cause to a vehicle. Let alone a smaller vehicle.
Railroad Crossing Safety Tips
Luckily, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has provided some helpful tips to help you cross railroad tracks. Approach the railroad crossing with care.
- Be prepared to stop.
- Look both ways and listen carefully.
- If your vehicle can’t drive through without stopping, don’t start. Always look again.
- Cross the railroad tracks with care and keep going once you start. Even if the lights start to flash or the gate comes down.
