it seemed most of these "greatest hits" are caused by the vehicle driver not realising that there is a train is coming from behind them, and is overtaking them, so they assume its safe to turn.
that should be different if they see the train is coming "head-on" towards them

Even if you "wrong rail" the trains, you'll still have trains coming from behind the driver - they'll just be on the other track. If the driver is so unaware of the presence of the tracks that they don't check for a train when making a left hand turn, it's even less likely that they'll see it if it's on an unexpected track.
