A monster-chicane on either side of each level-crossing would do the trick - if you've got to slow down to 30km/h anyway, the dumbfuck driving the truck might even stop. Bottom line is all these semis on the road - break the road, which we car-drivers have to pay to fix through our taxes - kill people, because so many of them are dumbfucks - waste resources when rail can carry SOOOOOOO MUCH MORE, for a fraction of the effort.

So, when you go to Big W to buy your new plasma screen so you can sit around and watch Home & away, they give you a coupon to trot along to your nearest rail freight depot to pick up your telly? -- Regards, Noddy.

A smarter government would prevent the situation in the first place with overpasses and underpasses. If the road never meets the rail, there will be no accidents.

If morons weren't allowed to drive, there'd be no accidents, and my taxes could be spent on something useful instead.
