No good driver meets crossing danger with caution
No good driver will race a train to a crossing. He will slow to easy, stop at all crossings, obey signals as if his life depended on it. After the train clears, wait to ensure no other train is coming. Use second gear where visibility is limited, and take double precautions at night and in bad weather.
