    3. All commercial drivers are required to stop at a Rail Road Grade Crossing when driving a
    commercial motor vehicle. Your CDL will be suspended for at least 60 days for the first offense
    for any of the following Railroad Grade Crossing violations. A second offense term will be at least 120 days, and for a third or subsequent conviction, at least one year:

    • The driver fails to slow down and check that tracks are clear of an approaching train
    • The driver fails to stop before reaching the crossing if the tracks are not clear
    • The driver fails to stop before driving onto the crossing
    • The driver fails to have sufficient space to completely drive through the crossing without stopping
    • The driver fails to obey a traffic control device at the crossing
    • The driver fails to negotiate a crossing because of insufficient undercarriage clearance

    Well something certainly is screwy here. There IS NO PAGE 11 in Section 3 for that link. I think you need to do some more studying, and be more precise in information about linking to things.

    That would be true if he was in the United States of America, but he's not. He's in New Jersey. All CMV's gotta stop.
