With the permission of my friend who is a truck driver I would like to share this video.
It was captured in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
This video was recorded six weeks after a collision occurred between a truck and train at the exact same crossing.
It takes 34 seconds for my friend to completely clear the crossing in a loaded road train. This video clearly illustrates the dangers that overgrown rail corridors and limited sighting distances represents to the regional motorist, particularly those in heavy vehicles like road trains, B doubles and quads with extra weight and length to consider when negotiating level crossings.

Special thanks to the Hon Melissa Price MP and Merome Beard MLA, in collaboration with all the families involved in the Train Lighting and Passive Level Crossing Safety Group for helping to make this happenππΌππΌ please sign the petition

@HoolyMcg#KeepTheSheep
The mortality rate on livestock transport ships is tiny.
0.15% per 20 day trip.
That's the same as a farmer with 100 sheep having 1 sheep die every 4 months.
#keepthesheep#liveexport
If you need a reason to #keepthesheep (other than the science/facts behind it), do it for the next generation of sheep farmers in WA. Without the competition it provides to our market, there will be a lot less sheep, and a lot less sheep farmers and kids growing up like this...
