The people who filmed this are scum! 
some time work for tesco grocery.and move double decker.tesco use double decker just to delivery between warehouse.and every time together with paperwork give full explained paper about direction.and this paper printed not from google map.but explained very,very correctly.in normal sitation drivers must have atlas to check road and sat nav as well because if drivers lost road.,direction by sat nav can much more easy recognize curent possition.but first better stop and check everthink.but this drivers from car ā¦ lorry drivers not just lost this job ,but lost any chance found some new job,because if he hit bridge police can give him 3 DD POINT,BUT IF DRIVERS HAVE POINT FOR danger driving ,found new job near not possible

Nah sorry guysIf you set off in a decker without a map with bridge heights on you deserve everything you get
first job when some appeared in our yard was yoke one up and run a tape measure up the side then check our routes on a map
He shouldve stopped at the first sign and rung back to base for a proper driver to come out and turn it round for him (there was space just before the first sign on his right )
Or was the bridge going to magically get bigger or disappear
I donāt know if heād realised at this point but I would have seriously considered pulling into the layby on the left and having a bash at spinning it round, even if the trailer goes back 5ft into the hedge thereās not usually any damage caused to the trailer. Although I did this once when Iād taken a wrong turn on a road that looked like it was going to get a lot narrower ahead but the lay-by hedge was very dense and leafy in summer. I later found a post, with a sign one end and a lump of concrete the other, that said āĀ£250 fine for littering - Leics County Councilā wedged in the tail-lift. I flung it in a ditch in a lay-by in Lincs where it said their fine as only Ā£50 so I saved Leics CC a bit of money there. 
I know people are saying maybe his reversing went to pot under the stress but I think maybe poor reversing ability had been the cause of him not turning earlier.

Poor bit of road planning too, I could only spot one place to turn round after the first warning sign and that would have been a bit trick even without a car parked there. If theyād have put a sign before the 50 sign he would have had a chance to back into that nice big driveway, not great but better than trying to back all the way up from the bridge.
As for the schadenfreudig knob, hope he gets his just deserts.Wouldnāt he have to be a driver himself to have āSchadenfreudeā?
The speech sounded like the guy was sitting in the passenger seatā¦ So wifey was driving I take it, unless heās got a LHD car, which I would consider to be āUnlikelyā on the grounds of a college accentsā¦Schedenfreude is what WE would all feel here if the video ended with the helmet driving into a ditch, 'cos heās too busy paying attention to something he wasnāt willing to prevent.
No schadenfreude is taking pleasure in other peoples misfortune which he is doing, and yes we would all be shadenfreudigs/ers (really donāt know the correct ending for loan words) if he drove into a ditch. It would be hilarious :twisted:
Thatās my point. This is MY āschadenfreudeā seeing someone I look upon with derision that goes under the name of ādriverā (of the car) come a cropperā¦ 
As for the agency trucker, Iām thinking heās well aware heās on the wrong road by the tentative way he approaches the bridge, praying for a road he can turn around in. At the last minute, heās probably got going through his head
āHey, some guys in the RDC waiting room said you can get a hightop under a 14ā bridge! - I wonder if i just take it gentlyā¦ Just pull into the middle of the roadā¦ fknows where that guy behind me has disappeared out of view toā¦ Dammit thereās a car coming and Iāve already committedā¦ Oh crap I aināt gonna make it!ā
I donāt feel no shadenfreude here, as itās the kind of ā ā ā ā -up that all of us should be paranoid about having occur!

Iām going to get rattled here but I disagree with almost every post so far lol!!ā¦
To me looks like the only bit of forward planning and hazard perception was done by the bloke filming. (Although having said that by watching the video I think the Tesco driver knew he was high which makes this bridge strike even more pathetic)
Try to warn the Tesco driver that he is over heightā ā ?
Donāt make me laugh. I canāt remember how many times Iāve been over height and had a delivery right before a low bridge or better still many old town industrial estates are right by a train station!!
If anyone flashed me to death that I pulled over and HE pointed out to ME how high MY trailer is and what did I think I was doing then I would politely tell him to mind his own business. Ok granted it had Tesco written all over the trailer and there wasnāt a Tesco store around but still a professional driver shouldnāt need telling these things by someone that is not in the industry and is merely a car driver for crying out loud!!I would have done the exact same thing (except film it), sit back and let the ā ā ā ā ā realise on his own accord (which he did and still hit the [zb])
Most pathetic bridge strike in history, no indication, no hazards, wernt even in the middle of the arch either.I herd that was Boss & Driver on an assessment drive.
I agree. āDriversā like this should never even be given a licence, not even for a car. If youāre too stupid to read the road signs warning of issues ahead then GTF off the road and go and do a job where you donāt have to use your noggin. Itās not like truck driving is a difficult job anyway - just about any muppet can do it.
Tempting as is to whip up all the haters into a lather by saying I wouldnāt have flashed him either, the truth of the matter is that I probably wouldāve done as he approached the bridge, and then when he stopped Iād have gone up to his cab and told him in no uncertain terms what a [zb] stupid blind [zb] [zb] he was and now please GTF out of my way so I can get where Iām going.

I think Iāve said the same thing about running over injured, prone bodies in the road that despite putting themselves there, end up being CD80 on your licence when you run them overā¦ Itās times like that you need the āprotectionā of a full time job with some kind of Union representation - the kind of job that is impossible to get these days alas.
Suedehead:
Tell you what though, that driver will suffer from back problems in later life if he keeps jumping out of the cab like that
Hereās someone else famous for ājumping outā that wonāt now be getting any work for Christmas eitherā¦

Soon to be seen appearing in pantomime . . book early !! 
Hit the bridge 
Didnāt the truck just move forward slowly to see if it was ok?
Surely person who was filming was in the wrong, driving and filming at the same time 
driver made a mistake, flapped a bit and tried his luck, unfourtunatly he touched the bridge, he didnt welly it at 50 miles an hour, maybe hes a new guy?..it happens people.
as for the driver behind, well anyone who calls his other half a knob and posts it on internet as well as recording a potential serious accident without trying to warn the driver, well just goes to show what he does in his spare time when he not at home jerking on out over police, camera, action

Iām thinking (after a few pints of smooth) maybe the driver didnāt want to screw the unit round under the bridge, so thatās why his reversing went south.
Maybe he tried to put a little lock on, but not wanting to screw the unit round in fear of cracking the fairings, he just pushed back, and thatās why he made an arse of it.
Or maybe itās just the pressure of knowing heās just lost his job

The the most important bit of this story is the bit we donāt have.What happened afterwards and exactly how did the story of the stuck wagon end.Especially if the explanation back at base went along the lines of having seen the advanced warning sign miles before at a roundabout by all accounts and then carrying on in the hope that the thing just might go under the bridge knowing how high it was.Because that was a better option than trying to turn the wagon round at a suitable place because itās driver was too scared to drive it backwards.Although the inconvenient fact of two big roundabouts,on what seems to have been the route,before reaching the bridge,might have zbād up that excuse. 
Never done that kind of work but Iād imagine the likes of tesco with a double deck trailer would give the driver a route planner.
The prick who filmed it is getting dogs abuse on YouTube too but keeps deleting the comments, if he thinks itās bad now wait until the Eddie spotters catch up with him.
xamtex:
i pulled a tesco decker for the first time a couple of weeks agoā¦you are given a route plan which must be strictly adhered toā¦you must not deviate from the route without prior permission from the plannerā¦you are forbidden to use satnavā¦you must follow the planned route.it says this clearly on the sheet,
my insructions were in english? if all instructions are in english only maybe this is the problem?
Remember C5 fascinating documentary āStobart Truck and Trailersā
Trucking superstar Mark Dixon was given all that and dismissed it as a joke.
Late we were treated to him squealing āturn the camera off turn it offā as he got lost and tried to turn round.
Happened to me once asked a fellow driver for directions
āDonāt worry about the low bridge the factory is at the side of it just keep cracking onā
Me reversing back through a handy car park and then ringing mate to explain my predicament
āOh I always come in from the other directionā
My favorite car drivers filming (stay to the end)
More proof that posession is 9/10ths of the law. Take the camera, edit out the registration plate, post it on utube, no comebacks except making the rednecks look like pricks.
what a pair of grassing morons, and ringing 999 saying its an emergency!!!
the guys got it on his facebook page, saying how it makes him laugh.
