Police in Dundee say they are concerned at a recent trend of drivers ignoring stop signals at a local railway level crossing despite the threat of approaching trains.
The British Transport Police (BTP) says it is aware of four incidents of "deliberate misuse" of the level crossing at Broughty Ferry in the space of two days. Drivers are allegedly failing to stop when crossing signals are flashing red - indicating that a train is imminent.
Network Rail says seven serious incidents of misuse have been recorded since the start of the year. Failing to stop for a level crossing signal is a criminal offence and can land drivers with penalty points and a fine or a prison sentence - if they're lucky enough to escape with their life.
