Houston's Metro vs 'The Car'

[Neo]

Perhaps the design of light rail in Houston is flawed or perhaps it's simply the inability for people to drive properly, regardless this video is a compilation showing that something is obviously very wrong:

Yeah, I'm not sure the entire blame should go to the driver (though they are obviously at fault in these cases). When you are making a left on roads without a streetcar/light rail you only have to worry about folks coming toward you so it gets ingrained into your driving habits. I bet none of these drivers will let it happen again though.
