Just a wild ass guess....
That driver is one of the people that only stop for trains when the train is there in the intersection blocking the road. We have gate arms at almost every intersection in the area I live in. I was coming to a stop since the lights went off and the arms came down and a idiot behind me drove across the yellow line to drive around the gate arms. The train rolled by and that idiot driver was pulled over and a cop was giving him a nice ticket. He was just not willing to waste the time waiting on a train.
The other possibility is the familiarity of an intersection. A friend of mine worked in the safety department at a Rail Road company. He was the guy that went to classrooms of grade 1 to 12 and city council meetings and gave the same safety speech over and over. He replaced a guy that did the same job for years. That guy my friend replaced was killed by a train at an intersection that was just a mile from his house and that he crossed every day.
