Re: [NSW] Five (in a car) thought dead after train crash

Unfortuneately Graeme boomgates just wont cut it, as has been stated before
idiots will drive around them.

What do we do overpass and underpass on every major X-ing big big $$$$$.
Then what about private X-ings etc. lets face it nobody should be dying.

I don't know what the answer is.

I appreciate what you are saying the loss of life and associated trauma is
completely unacceptable.  And I agree there is a disaster waiting to
happen!!!!

It's a shame to say but with all the prcautions under the sun people will
still persist in trying to kill themselves in motor vehicles(and
unfortuneately our elected reps in parlament and the dibblers
(police, for those who don't remember Top Cat)are only interested in hiding
their speed cameras etc. to raise more revenue not save lives).

I 'll await the barage on this one
