A train is approaching a crossing and the gate has started down. What should a driver do?
A railroad gate is closing or down, and red crossing lights are active. The blue learner is on the approach side. The question shows no route around the gate or across the tracks.
Correct answer: Stop and wait; never try to beat the train or drive around the gate.
Why
A train's speed and distance can be deceptive, and it cannot swerve or stop quickly; wait until the crossing fully clears.
