In other words, man steps out in front of the Luas and gets a slap.
@Fred the Muss…: actually there has been several incidents with the Luas that was driver error.
@Sean: Exactly. I saw one near miss where driver had ample time to switch lanes but continued straight. Can’t teach common sence to some drivers.
@Caoimhín: luas driver switch lanes. Hmm
@Sean: a train on a track, step out in front of a moving train and it’s your fault.
@Sean: Your going to have to explain that to me. How can it be driver error unless they drive through a pedestrian crossing on a red?
@Fred the Muss…: Was it a pedestrian or a driver?
@Caoimhín: switch lanes in a Luas? That would be a good trick alright.. how does it do that?
@Sean: unless a Lucas driver brakes a light I can’t see many instances when’s it’s the drivers fault.
