Wanderbirds Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Have you seen this tube of trucks striking a bridge in America? http://gizmodo.com/5955244/watch-this-bridge-destroying-dozens-of-trucks-and-buses The full tube is part way down the page.

pepe63xnotuse Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 That water-curtain stop sign is a clever idea! I've never seen those before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyishuk Posted May 13, 2013 Author Share Posted May 13, 2013 I like the American video. What frightens me is the traditional arched bridge where the crown / soffit is the measured height, so I drive down the under the highest bit, only to find that on coming traffic has taken no notice of the signs saying there may be vehicles in the middle of the road. Happens nearly every time in Sandhurst https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=sandhurst&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&sa=N&tab=wl Times when another 20 tons behind me would help :D Rgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMS Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Today I was driving north through Emsworth, where I live, and there was a large lorry reversing into the railway station yard as he had decided that the rail bridge was too low for his vehicle. The problem is ascerbated due to the low bridge being in a dip in the road so a lorry may pass under but will be caught as the front of the lorry goes up up the slope. We also have every few years the excitement of having a double decker bus suddenly becomes a topless bus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
