Nice! I remember seeing an 18 wheeler with a high load that hit a low bridge on the interstate in the Nashville area maybe 30 years ago. That was a mess!

That is cool. We used to have a low bridge that was hit regularly, even though there was a breakaway sign before it that was supposed to warn drivers effectively.

Sometimes you just can't fix stupid. I wish, however, you could prevent it from driving.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Be fun to haul ass throught that in a car. On acid.

Disneyland was pretty impressive via that method in my ute.

That is cool. There's an overpass on my way to work that's been hit and repaired at least 3 times. I don't know why they don't post the height on those bridges anymore.
