Well if the Luas operated as elsewhere in Europe that would be the case, but its driven ultra conservatively in Dublin

There have been eight road traffic accidents involving motorists and the Luas since January 2007.

Seven were said to have involved motorists breaking red lights. The Luas was opened on June 30, 2004.

I wonder what happened the 8th time?

The eight was actually the first, motorist at unsignaled junction on Harcourt Street on the first morning pulled out and was clipped by a tram

Didn't a worker suffer an amputation in the Sandyford Depot during construction / commissioning?

They are running a poster campaign in Dublin about traffic and the LUAS at the moment.
