An "illegal turn" would include incidents (which I have seen on Metrorail's own camera footage as broadcast on Fox 26) where a Metrorail train operator is blowing the horn forcing a driver to make an "illegal" turn. Another of those "illegal" turns was a woman who turned where a left turn was legally permissable, she just turned from a center lane instead of a left turn lane. She alledges that the light that flips to prohibit left turns as the train approaches did not change. That incident was still under investigation the last I heard (if she was wrong, Metro should have had the footage available that day).

Then there are the workers who lifted the barricade to drive their truck onto the tracks to do their job on the line. Metro was joyriding a practice run and hit the truck. The workers had reason to be there and Metro was not supposed to be there that day (this was before the rail had opened to the public). Guess who got the blame.

Being Jewish was a criminal offense in Germany. Just because the lights toggle to give the Metrorail "right of way", does not mean that Metro drivers respect other drivers on the road. Saying that every incident is the fault of the drivers of the cars is just another way of saying it is illegal to hit the Metrorail.

Exactly. The system is rigged in Metrorail's favor. It simply permits them to continue destroying other people's property and lives with virtual impunity. Metrorail harms the public as a whole by subjecting it to unreasonable and pervasive dangers while helping only a select few with vested financial stakes in their project. It is therefore unfit to exist.
