A thundering juggernaut has pulled down Christmas lights in Hessle.
Bah humbug!
Looks like plenty of cctv to catch the clown!
maybe the lights installation team never measured the height of the lights ■■..but always blame the driver who supposedly Thundered down the high st…i doubt he was thundering…over reaction maybe.

Their excuse was they were unsure whether to measure in metric or imperial 
no doubt it was the council ■■■■■ that had then hanging down too low,they probably were trying to install them at a minimum height in meters and only brought a tape measure in feet and inches.i wonder what the bbc will say if it turns out to be a muslim truckie who thundered down the road destroyng the xmas lights in a one man protest against his ethnic minority being offended .or.similar riding a camel holding a scaffolding pole.if its anything like that,then watch the lid getting put firmly in place with no more coverage whatsoever.either way,i hope he was wearing his hiviz. 
well its a pedestrian zone so not like he would be able to go thundering down it.
the council know that various size delivery vehicles go down it to make deliverys…should of put them higher 
If the lights were lower than 16’6 with no warning sign then the council have to pay up right? With no blame on the driver?
Were the lights put up in metric or in Imperial?
i asked the same q,but nobody told me… 
Back in about 1990 I was visiting a cafe in a residential street in WSM with a Vauxhall parts double decker and brought several telephone wires down, I never did go back there again to eat
I did the same in pwllheli delivering to woolies with a 15’9 decker, normal route into town centre closed so followed diversion and down the phone lines came oops

didn’t think they had deckers when woolworths were going, might be wrong though 
Typical BBC biased reporting propaganda this time about lorries and their drivers always to blame never anyone else’s fault, this is the same BBC who seek to undermine the will of 17.4 million people and democracy time the paedo network was starved of all public cash why anyone pays them the tv tax i’ll never understand
Looked on streetview and unless it fancied taking out the permanent cables or at least risk getting electrified, then the truck should have been less than 12’ 3" as per the sign.
Not sure if this will work:

If they made them lower than that, the council could be in a bit of do-do!

They did. Used to do the odd shift for them and it was deckers.

well it didn’t rip out the electric mains cables that go from the roofs of the buildings to buildings on the opposite side of the street, so maybe it was a puddle jumper, there again the way these msm cretins report news it was probably a luton type van,which the call a truck
I was there today doing a delivery talking to the customer it was a large artic that could not get round the one way system so went straight up thought the centre … There is a 12.6 hight lime sign there. He just ripped all the lights and decorations down and pulled some metal work out they said around £25000 worth of damage lol
