Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video your car has stopped on a level crossing marked with a St Andrew's cross, and the engine will not start. You are obliged to try to remove the vehicle from the tracks - for example, to push it off with the help of your passengers or, with a manual gearbox, to move it using the starter motor in first gear. The answer is: yes.
The Road Traffic Act states that if a vehicle comes to a standstill on a level crossing, the driver is obliged to remove it from the crossing without delay, and only when this is impossible - to warn the driver of the rail vehicle. First you get your passengers off the tracks, then you try to push the car off; if you cannot, you immediately call 112 and walk away from the tracks towards the oncoming train to give a signal to the train driver.
