    About half the responses on the Truck vs Bridge fb page for Pierre sound just like this driver.

    "They need to do something about this bridge!"

    There's all the signs, and a plainly marked truck route. I don't think they have the budget to stop every truck and make sure the driver's head isn't 2 feet up his ###. J/s

    Absolutely right.

    I like the part about putting in a siren. Any driver who can't comprehend the large yellow warning sign and flashing yellow lights isn't going to be deterred by an alarm.

    I've made mistakes before, but I own every one of them. I don't complain about how it should be somebody else's responsibility to keep me from making them.

    Does the driver speak or read English?
