so what’s the deal with the dirty looks the tram drivers insists on throwing at cars that attempt to cut them off…OK I know that you’re driving a train, and you always have right of way…but do you really need to honk the horn and stare down the car driver when you have to slam on your brakes…we get it…you are in the right…the cars have to stop for you and you should be morally outraged and offended that someone tried to stop you in your all important quest to deliver the little people from one stop to another, but really…DO YOU HAVE TO SLOW DOWN THE TRAIN AND ATTEMPT TO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER OF THE FIAT CINQO-OCHO (or whatever it is). We all know that you aren’t about to follow them home or wave a gun at them or threaten their children so just get over it…toot your little horn and move on…
They have the right-of-way for a good reason. Large vehicles are difficult to drive and they get frustrated at drivers who make their job difficult. “Drive unto others as you would have them drive unto you” The world would be more peaceful and safer.
but it’s a train…it’s not the same situation as a car trying to cut of a big tractor on the freeway. The car obviously knows the train won’t swerve or let them in…They just didn’t see the train. They’ll stop. If not they will get hit.
Maybe they can just take off the bell and light from the train to encourage stupid people getting hit. On darwin day that seems fitting.
