“Officials said a fire truck was actually in front of the sedan that was hit, where firefighters inside allegedly watched the driver go around the lowered arms before the collision.”mjd4277 and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
And not too long ago a FIRE TRUCK went around the gates and got hit by a Brightline train-they’re still investigating that one!!
I know Brightline must be pissed off to no end,I’m sure they’re fed up with all of these morons trying to beat their trains!Trucker61016, Concorde, drvrtech77 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Maybe people are looking at this wrong. Maybe it’s time these trains start going around the cars. lol. I’m being sarcastic.

I think there needs to be penalties up to and including having your license revoked for running railroad gate arms

Those trains only started running through Melbourne 2 years ago…September 2023
I guess some people just have a longer learning curve
Stay tuned..there will be more!!hope not dumb twucker and mjd4277 Thank this. -
Death penalty was served
hope not dumb twucker Thanks this. -
Fines were increased last year
In Brevard County, Florida, going around a closed railroad crossing arm is a moving violation under Florida Statute 316.1575. A first offense results in a $500 fine or 25 hours of community service, plus 6 points on your driver's license. A second or subsequent violation increases the fine to $1,000, with another 6 points assessed against your licensemjd4277 Thanks this. -
Those trains don’t stop in Melbourne because it would take too much money away from the toll roads.
They fought over it for years, lol.
Chance to ease some of the congestion and they didn’t care.
