    Wouldn't he have been better off just straight backing and getting back on a main road? Or what do you do in this situation? Obviously proper planning and avoiding low bridges to begin with would be ideal, but if you get bum directions or slip up and get in this situation what does and experience driver do?

    couple things,,, he could back up depending how far it is, or call the police(which i recommend since its safer). driver did good in not hitting the bridge. but he kept on trying to make the uturn knowing he couldnt do it without damaging the truck the first try. this video been shown few times on this forum
