Driving as shown in the clips on TV News should aytomatically lead to a charge of Dangerous Driving. I believe that conviction on this charge can lead to a prison sentance and a driving ban!

Best wishes,

John H-T.

Are the drivers of cars thinking they are being clever, or are they wanting a bit of excitement?

Foot passengers are the same, have they got a screw loose?

I would give car drivers a life sentence, if you can catch them?

How about having a system whereby automatic bollards installed, like the ones you see in limited access roads in town centres, these could be controlled by a Signal Box attached to a CCTV Camera as part of the Crossing Gates control. If a train is approaching, then the bollards would be raised and no traffic could get through, provisions would have to be made for the Emergency Services.

Earlier today, a train was delayed because of an incident near Spondon (Derby).
Damage to crossing barriers meant driver had to proceed under caution.
