How many more times do we have to say “don’t drive on the train tracks”?

Trains are fast and difficult to start and stop. Cars, in contrast, are relatively easy to maneuver and bring to a halt. This is why if there’s a train crossing, the train is given the right of way, while the cars are meant to wait behind a barrier until the locomotive has safely passed and traffic can begin again.

However, some people think they’re too good to wait. They’ll try to sneak in *just* under the barrier, apparently not realizing that all they’re doing is setting up their car to be train bait.

In this case, a woman got her car stuck between the barriers and, rather than try to drive it out, decided to attempt to stop the train.

This, of course, didn’t work, and her beloved vehicle became nothing more than a memory.
