This is a normal post I'm happy with anything that takes morons out of the gene pool by their own stupidity...
Unfortunately, someone else usually has to pick up the pieces...or wipe the bloody smear off...

This is a normal post Not so cool if the twat's bike derails a 70mph train full of passengers.
I'm really fucking amazed by the antics in that video. So many twats. Who knew there were so many idiots-oh yeah the 52% thing. Never mind.

This is a normal post why is this dangerous!
ok, your on a high speed death track!

but if you can see any approaching train in advance - and typically you can, since high speed trains do not cope very well with blind corners. you get easily 10-20seconds of warning with a f**king great horn blarring at you*

This is a normal post Can you imagine it from the drivers point of view?
Given that they cannot stop.

This is a normal post Yeah, I was being flippant above...
well aware of the shit that train drivers have to deal with...particularly so given today's headline news.

This is a normal post "incredibly dangerous" seems somewhat of an exaggeration
If they allow cyclists to walk their bikes through the crossing as the sign implies, presumably this is also reliant on their ability to detect if a train is coming to do so safely, in the same way as the photographer would be.
I'd also presume the safety margins don't require split-second reaction times, otherwise it would be a dangerous crossing for any user that they've sanctioned, and the sign should say "Cyclists Should Ride Through Here At Flat Chat And Hope For The Best"
