The tunnel height restriction says 13 feet, you're 13'6". Do you risk it?
:lol: What a pillock. How on earth could you not realize you're doing that damage?
Story here
When we were doing a lot of work at PHL, we put moving walks in the bridges. these reduced the headroom slightly, but it was well signed. Several semis, like the one in the picture, hit and had results like this guy. They said they didn't feel much because the trailer is not continuous with the cab, it doesn't take much to strip those roofs back.
One guy went through with a stronger truck and he felt it. He bent a load bearing beam. I had to have it heat straightened in place.
Hope he didn't drive for a while not realizing it had happened.
A long time ago I remember a double decker bus being stuck under a bridge in Barnet. It didn't open like a tin of sardines though, think it was just stuck.
Proberly wasnt even reading the signs .
do you expect him to drive listen to the radio , chew gun. and read the signs all at the same time ??? lol lol lol

In the truck, the skin is the frame, each element needs the others in place to work. that's why the walls are sagging, the roof held them stable. Your bus has a frame and the skin fixed to and supported by that. The skin of those buses used to be steel where the truck is aluminium.

I imagine the copas were waiting for him at the other end, given they'd tried to flag him down on his way in.

The article quoted a spokesman "on the rare occasions when trucks have entered and scraped the tunnel’s ceiling, their drivers have invariably stopped, he said, and the police have employed a height-reducing technique of letting air out of the trucks’ tires so they could be backed out"
We saw the exact same thing for real on route 15 a couple of years back. Trucks aren't allowed on the road at all on account of all the bridges being too low, but this guy had driven his semi along it until he "sardined" his truck on the first bridge he got to.
