When driving a vehicle with a manual transmission across railway tracks, what is a crucial safety rule?
Blue A approaches a railway crossing in the right-hand lane. Rails cross the road and an unchanged red-and-white Canadian crossbuck stands at the approach. No crossing path or gear instruction appears.
Correct answer: Do not shift gears while crossing the tracks
Why
You should never shift gears while crossing railway tracks. If you miss a gear, your vehicle could stall directly on the tracks.
