Here in India we seem to have a large number of such ridiculously stupid people (perhaps a consequence of having a large number of people in general) but it also becomes a street-cred thing as someone in front of you beats the train at a railway crossing and now you look like a wuss if you just stand there and wait for the train to pass.

This kind of accident is so common I remember the government commissioning a series of funny PSA ads that played on national TV showing people acting recklessly at railway crossings, getting killed and then expressing their regrets from beyond the grave.
