When You Cross A Rail Crossing, Do You Stop And Look Or Trust The Thai Guy Sitting In His Box

Featured Replies

I always look as i dont trust the ppl in the lil box..

Always look and check beforehand. Regardless of the box guy, crossing gates, crossing lights, or any such vacancy thereof. Unfortunately....many don't.:rolleyes:

being thinking if i was the only one that stopped.. sadly i see 4 ppl died in korat at one

After working, on and off, for nearly 40 years with several railways, I recommend to stop if necessary.

Which means, if you cannot see the line left and right for approaching train(s, do stop.

Never trust the reliability of the the guard or the electronics.

The trains over here do not exceed 100km/hr due to the narrow guage & always use their horns as they approach ANY crossing manned or otherwise

& always use their horns as they approach ANY crossing manned or otherwise

... unless they forget.

Yes l/you slow and look, unfortunately when l do this they overtake me :rolleyes:.

Which never happens, of course.:whistling:

Well, where I lived one could always see any trains coming a mile-off anyway.

But look at it this way; would you trust a Thai in a uniform?

Stop and look :jap:

I always at least slow down and look both ways first before crossing.No matter what!
