Wile it’s a bit silly and he obviously knew he was close, it is really about time heights are given in both feet and inches and in meters given the metrification of the UK and what is taught at school, the height difference could quite easily have been threw over-simplification of mental conversion from feet and inches to meters which is something a lot of UK drivers couldn’t do even if you gave them 5 min’s to sit down and a pen and paper yet alone wile driving!

 

 

MUPPET!

 

Should be slung out of the country for not being able to read a road sign and barred entry ever again!

 

As for “Should be slung out of the country for not being able to read a road sign and barred entry ever again!” do we do the same for all the UK drivers that hit low bridges in much more spectacular fashion?

i work part time for a big green supermarket, one of the home delivery drivers came back one day with a very sheepish look on his face ,we said "whats up" his reply "the sat nav told me to go that way" turns out he hit a very low bridge ,as our vans are 9ft tall also he did more damage backing out and ripping the front of the van off, after a while the driver comes out with "the council lowered the bridge and changed the sign on one side of the bridge but not the other !!! mmmmmm really ???

There is no excuse whatsoever for bridge bashing in my opinion and that fact that it happens just indicates that we allow incompetents to drive.

 

I have somewhere a sobering photo of a railway bridge bashed by a wagon carring an excavator; the impact has knocked the deck girders clean off the abutments and the bridge deck is lying in the road. If a train had been close at the time there would potentially have been many casualties.

 

Flatbeds and low-loaders traditionally are the greatest risk since the load height varies, but a box body is always the same height. No excuse.
