He most likely had momentum against him if he did notice the bump and by that time it was too late, he already took it down. Not enough practice I guess.
Now this is what I call "Running a light"

I didn't know a Prime truck could go fast enough to cause damage to anything.....Or even have the power to bend a light pole...
-
I just hate it when I see those traffic light poles jump closer to the curb when you already have a tight turn to make. Seen it happen a few times already in front of my eyes in the only turn lane. Cars go by the pole sits their, truck comes up the pole sneeks up to curb side when driver is not looking.
Trailer bottom rail has damage first contact with pole. If the axle hadnt jacked like that they probably would of kept going with out knowing they took it down. -
Now some similarly dumb airplane pilot is going to try and stop for a redlight.
Does Prime have planes?SHC, Mr Ed, 48Packard and 1 other person Thank this. -
thought planes had to go more 60 to stay in the air
SHC Thanks this. -
I dunno about stopping but might try landing or avoiding the spot. Dunno what lights airplanes fallow but I thing red would mean stop or avoid.
depends how heavy the plane is determine the lift it need. -
A little Cessna can hang up there about 60. He'll have to circle in a holding pattern.
You missed the joke!
....A bunch of Prime planes crashed beside the truck! -
Its a LIGHT WEIGHT Frieghtliner tractor , maybe he thought the LIGHT would WAIT
