Better than walking into traffic.

I always knew Rap music was bad for you. That train "Rapped" her around the tracks.

I’ve seen that “lunging toward the danger” in some pedestrian accidents too. I don’t understand it, except maybe in the moment the brain stem always says to run forward.

Im a year younger than her and go across level crossings to get to college. There’s never any trains scheduled to go past in the times that I cross but it’s common sense to pause music and check that nothing is coming anyway

A song can be paused, played and restarted as many times as you want, life doesn’t work the same way. Stupidity kills
