I would of thought that all lorry drivers were aware of all height restrictions.

A reasonably efficient way to lose your licence

what a lovely idea!


I used to work with one driver who often drove into bridges. He was the man who knocked a footbridge onto the M20 a couple of years ago.

wont lose licence, as many know i drove car transporters for years, big money an big reponsibilty with a peak deck,max height no matter how many cars is 16ft,every driver should get a bridge bashers map!it marks every bridge under 16ft in the country,well worth having,still got mine lol the driver of that was in perth i think and that bridge is nowhere near where he should have been delivering! either a foriegn gentleman, or a newbie i reckon,
damage like that used to be the tin tack, however he may get away with a bollocking and retraining in this day and age, having said that many may wonder why no debris at the bridge? simple answer is the car collapses into itself and keeps al the bits inside it apart from glas shards

Old news,.. There's a thread about bridge strikes most days on truck forums.

That bridge in Perth is 4.0M, no way a transporter was going to fit, (agency driver),  be 3-4 points, for due care, if drivers unlucky.

It’s probably the bridge right outside the Land Rover dealer on the motor mile in Perth. The guys in the workshop let out a collective cheer when they hear the (regular) bridge strikes then have a 10 minute smoko outside watching events over the fence.

Driver probably decided to drive into town rather than the longer route round Broxden/A9.....
