No it's not been such a good year but I don't know how you deal with people's stupidity and impatience. Two quotes from the article mentioned above -
A recent official report revealed that nearly 15,000 people die every year crossing tracks - a figure that the [Indian] government described as a "massacre". "Officials said the vehicle tried to cross the tracks as an express train approached" - never a good idea.
