Re: Think Twice . .
Should this thread be called: 'How To Wheelie Your Lorry'?

Re: Think Twice . .
While it is amusing watching an extraordinary amount of fail on the part of the drivers, one has to wonder if some of that fail needs to be attributed to the city planners. After all once is unfortunate, twice is careless, 14 times might require someone take a look at doing a little more than a flashing light and a sign.

But these are Americans.No amount of signage will make them take any notice whatsoever.

Re: Think Twice . .
Thats just crazy, im in agreement though, if there is that many doing that then something more permanant needs to be done.
They could put height sensors between two poles or lamposts 50 yards up and down the road that sets off an alarm or warning signs specific to that vehicle. As majority of the trucks were getting hit at roughly the same height, the bridge height needs increasing and/or the road lowering. |
