Something has to be done…
But, I can’t see that a ban will actually prevent the bridge strike in the first place. The drivers who do this seem to have a complete disconnect from what’s going on and a ban won’t stop that. However, a ban and re-test would give the offender a chance to develop their driving skills further.
In cab height indicators don’t work.
Flashing ‘overheight vehicle divert’ signs don’t work.
Large black and yellow painted bridges don’t work.
High vehicle lanes don’t work.
Satnav directions don’t work.
For my own part, I’ve come across many bridges I couldn’t get under but never clouted any of them.
