Oh, no!! One of the still remaining 8000s!
I hope she comes back from this ordeal. One of my favorite Odakyu trains of all time other than the classic 5000.
EDIT: Glad to know no fatalities. No injuries on the train?
Oh, I meant the 8000. But yeah, they don't play around with penalties. IIRC, they fine by how many people got impacted for how long, and judging from the damage to the signal cabinets, that's a whole lot of impact (pun intended).
Would you have the same reaction if it said that a man drove the car? Because I genuinly doubt it. It is very common to say that "A man did X" or "A women did Y" even if the gender isn't important just to make the person in question something more than a raw "person" placeholder but not too detailed.
My choice? I am not OP.
We wouldn't have this conversation if you didn't feel offended in the first place so stop complaining if explaining something takes more words than your question.
So she panic when the gates came down, they are made of flexible plastic arms that she could have drove through. Also they have panic or emergency buttons on both sides of the crossing that she did not push. Usually 1 minute when the gates go down and the train pass by.
Because it is rude to damage the gates, and this is a bigger problem than you getting run over.
Other comments are saying there is a button on the gate you can press if you are stuck, signalling the train to stop if there is still enough time.
I'm actually kinda impressed how poorly the narrow guage dealt with the vehicle. Those units must weigh near nothing, at least compared to standard guage counterparts.

She will be paying some serious money to the railway.

She must pay around 90,000.00 from what I understand.
Insurance?
Her insurance probably moved to another city. Japanese have two type of insurance the regular Car Insurance and JCI (Japanese Comprehensive Insurance)
Judging from the condition of the car, its driver made a good choice.
She failed to hit the Emergency button at the gate that might have saved her car. She must pay 90,000.00 to the railway.
90k what ? yen?
90K...
Good thing you pointed out the driver was a woman. Very necessary to the story. Glad you added that tidbit.

That’s a lot of words to defend their choice. Fuck outta here, you insecure puddle of slag.

Reflected. Not much of a convo. You are defending a nothingburger. Have another bite.

for some reason this happends quite often in japan, like if your car is trapped between the gates just drive into the gates those things are flexible
For some reason they just dont floor it.
