"Look left, look right, look left again" is the number one rule of locomotive safety, and parents all over the world are shaken by this video of a woman almost getting struck by a train because she did not look both ways before crossing. 

This video was released by New Zealand's Auckland Transport officials in an attempt to raise awareness for rail safety.

In the video, you can see several people crossing the tracks as the warning lights flash in the corner. Eventually, a distracted woman in a purple sweatshirt starts to stroll across the tracks. She can be seen looking to her right before she crosses, but not to her left.

This should be a warning to us all!
