Attitudes like that are why cars are the number one killer of small children in the USA.
I think the idea is that car drivers should be able to see a human and adequately respond to avoid deadly collision (this usually means driving slowly and with more caution in areas where there are humans. this also can mean driving a lighter/smaller vehicle but that seems harder to do nowadays with cars getting beefier over time).
Trains, after operators see an obstruction on the tracks, literally cannot respond in time.

We won't even charge them with negligence (again, if sober). It's OK to slaughter children with your car ("vehicular manslaughter", that is - because it's OK if it's vehicular)
