| A Train Driver's Plea ( safety video ) |

This is a long watch but if your driving around Oz ( or anywhere else ), it is of interest and worth the watch.

If I was to give my thoughts and comments to this subject it would be the biggest reply and make this the longest (in pages) thread in the history of Disco3.co.uk. Oh my the palms are still sweating and the hands still shaking after watching that. Soooooooo/Toooooooo many bad experiences of this same thing (Like every driving shift I do  or turning up at the aftermath as a Network Safety Officer ).
I have lost so many work mates/friends to these situations. (Train hitting trucks/cars on level crossings) At least QR and co. are doing something about it. (Unlike Victoria's wicked witch transport minister who does not give a flying  about rail safty or lives lost.)
Thanks for posting this Drivesafe. I hope many people learn from this campaign.
P.S.  White Disco appears twice in the clip (Investigating at two of the accidents in the clip.)
Drivesafe it appears old train drivers never die.  Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room in my D3 for 7,
Climb in here Joe we'll soon be flying,
I can go just as fast with 7.
