For those that watched it sunday, some of you may have seen the news monday morning, people were complaining about it saying it shouldnt have been shown, (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6394845.stm)
now low and behold a few days later 1 possibly 2 people are killed on a level crossing...

I dont get how u get onto the level crossing in the first place, if the barrier comes down you wait, and if your already crossing it aint gonna come dwn so fast to trap you on there

I can't understand how anyone can be so fucking stupid as to jump a level crossing. Just wait, it's not worth the risk.

there only half barriers most of them, so you only get a barrier on your side of the road.
like so...

There's alot of people who are gonna have a go at topgear for anything they do just because of the way they do it.
It's good that it was highlighted.

trains should have the same speeding laws as cars IMO.
had to be a vauxhall though didn't it.... first a corsa gets done over by a huge truck, now an astra gets destroyed by a train.
ed, hes a complete idiot. Train was at Line Speed, which is 100MPH. Trains do not have to slow down for level crossings

no, i don't see why trains should be allowed to do 100mph whilst we cna only do 70 legally...
maybe the person wouldn't have died if the train was doing 70? although they most probably still would've

That's one of the most stupid things I have ever heard.
Next you'll be saying that aircraft can't travel at 300mph because cars can't

i dont get why theres a problem with this being showed in the aftermath of the cumbiran train crash
a) there was no fatalities
b) the crash was nothing to do with a train level crossing anyway

There was one fatality. But the woman was about 86 anyway.
But was the reason why people complained? People are so fucking touchy these days

An airliner could hit a light aircraft which can only cruise at 100mph. GOing by your logic, airliners should only be able to go as fast as light aircraft.

 you tool, if people followed the signs, cars would never come into contact with trains.
If we are working on this logic, surely a car could break through a barrier onto a runway

Sorry is this a joke?
Have you ever ignored a level crossing barrier or do you think this is quite normal?
If you actually read what you've written again you'll realise how stupid you sound.
