WTF is that all about ?. I think i spotted one yesterday just about to snort a line of coke, but it might just of been that i was coming to the end of a 15 hour day. Who comes up with this crap ?.

I reckon you have been in Northamptonshire 
They have hundreds of suspicious bridges, there are signs that tell you so, with a number you can call to report a suspicious bridge…Sorely tempted to report one shuffling to the left a little, as I passed beneath it

Probably someone who decided it was time to at least try and do something about people dropping breeze blocks on top of cars and trucks
Anyone who drops any item from a bridge on to any vehicle should be charged with attempted murder… and hung

i’ve never understood why it’s not classed as attempted murder.
i was a kid with my dad possibly on the m60 many moons ago, a brick was dropped off a bridge, it took out the radiator, if it was dropped a split second later or we were travelling that bit faster then it would’ve joined us and the 2 people in the back of the crew cabbed wrecker. scum.
Years ago on Swifts the air frieght driver who drove a Ford Cargo (poor sod) was hit by a breeze block that was thrown of a bridge and he spent several weeks in intensive care.
I once drove along the M18 and saw a brick hanging from a bridge at windscreen level, I stopped, climbed the embankment and reeled it up. … ■■■■■■■■■
saw these signs on thursday night for the 1st time, on the a12 and a14. pain in the arse, as once i’d spotted the 1st one, every time i saw another, i couldn’t stop myself looking up at, and around the bridge. how long before someone ploughs into a bridge, and says they were looking for something suspicious!

Been there a while now they have, What gets me is if a kid is throwing rocks at cars, by the time you phone the old bill the kids will be long gone 
Why is Orwell Bridge not a Suspicous Bridge ? I think that has more reason then any with the amount of people who have jumped off it, I mean its what 40-50 people now who have decided its enough ?

Pro drivers should be able to look past the end of their bonnet, most of us are able to make a cuppa and drive so looking out for a chav with a brick on a bridge aint gonna be that difficult.
I always thought the ones on the way to Felixstowe were in case someone of dubious character decided to rapidly dismantle them by planting some sort of device, hence blocking the flow of goods in to the country.

Good point ! Not enough drivers read the road ahead. I am constantly looking ahead as far as the eye can see, if the road 3 or 4 miles away in a exposed part is visible I have my eyes on it, often people ask why I have takien my foot off the accelerator with nothing in sight ? … it’s because I saw what they didn’t and when they shoot past then have to stand on the brakes they see why.

I agree mate,just a shame a driver called Mickey Little lost his life to some scumbag on the M3 some years ago !!
As said above those on the A14 and A12 have been there a while, to be honest if you did see something suspicious would you have seen the number of the bridge etc… And then if you had how long would it take for the fuzz to turn up?
I tend to look up before I get to a bridge, but can’t worry about it too much as you would never go out on the road.

agreed. pro drivers maybe, but alot of “joe bloggs” will end up staring up at the bridges if and when they clock the warning signs.

The only HGV drivers that will probably not notice are supermarket drivers as they are in a world of their own.
