Group of 34 drivers who had passed railway signals at danger was examined medically and questioned about circumstances in which signal had been passed; conjectural explanation was formulated for each incident; poor sight appeared to be relevant factor in one case; organic dementia, suspected but not confirmed, was possibly factor in two cases; three drivers were suffering from anxiety symptoms amounting to illness; in further eight cases psychiatric symptoms not amounting to illness were regarded as relevant; there were special circumstances in three cases.
