Why should a driver never attempt to race a school bus across railroad tracks ahead of an approaching train, even if it seems like there is time?

Pick an answer

1. Trains are far heavier and take much longer to stop than most people expect, making the actual safety margin narrower than it appears
2. Trains always stop immediately once the engineer sees a bus on the tracks
3. This concern applies only to trains traveling faster than 70 mph
4. Racing a train is always completely safe as long as the bus can reach a certain speed, since trains slow down for buses at crossings
