QUOTE (Gwent rail @ 14 Dec 2006, 11:46) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I see that the driver of the road train was arrested. If he can't see a train coming in countryside like that, then it's locked up he should be!!
Perhaps an eye test, a brain scan and a driving test are in order.
Then again, perhaps it was a woman driver, in which case it'll go down as "an act of God".

Lets not jump to conclusions here until we have more facts.
We know that the (rail) train has priority over road traffic, but we do not yet know the full circumstances - it's possible that the roadtrain had broken down.
In my experience as a responsible truck driver it's always the truck drivers fault until you can show otherwise. Having said that, if this particular driver was at fault he should be locked up, at the very least should loose his vocational licience.
Please keep us posted Neil.
