IF any driver of a tractor, or other road vehicle can't see lights flashing at crossings, then surely they can in most cases HEAR the claxon, or at the very least STOP and check with the signalman/woman and by use of the crossing phone, that the line is clear, or a train IS approaching? Far too much blame is put upon the railway, rather than the REAL reason and the human neglect, or simple abuse of level-crossings.
