Nowadays that VW Beetle is a VW Golf with the side airbags hanging out the windows after impact.

Czech trams don't charge into accidents. The locals understand the rules, they're taught from infancy. It's more the large number of international visitors and resident expats who have to pick up the knowledge pretty quickly. It's hard to do rhino campaigns when the audience might have only arrived in the country a few days ago.

I do have reservations about using track brakes except in some extreme situations. I think there's a point up to which you have to look after the passengers. Most cars nowadays have side airbags, they can absorb the blow better without injuring the occupants.
