Drivers don’t care about speed limit signs, or red X signs for a closed motorway lane so why would they be bothered about a bridge height sign?

Because they’ll probably not have to face the consequences of ignoring speed limits and lane closures,whereas bridges are less forgiving.

That’s a HGV? - Well it looks a tad under 7.5t now - don’t it?

Maybe he saw 9’6" and thought "Mine 3.6m goes under that, yessir"

A Luton van will go under it…just :open_mouth: There used to be a van hire place on the estate and i dropped my mate off to pick a van up, then i drove out that way and he followed me…took the top coat of paint off the roof but he made it :smiley:
