    I dont know where this happened. Havent seen it posted here yet. Driver is lucky he didnt get pancaked by the bridge. He must have worn a seat belt because the windshield is still intact.

    I was somewhere a few weeks ago running behind an oversized. He was probably 10 wide and I estimated somewhere around 14.5 tall (big box) and no escort. Anyway it was on an interstate and there is a somewhat low bridge that has an excess height detector. The lights started flashing to tell the vehicle to exit and bypass the bridge but he ignored it. I asked on the radio if he knew what he was doing as I began to slow to put more distance between me and him. Got no reply back. He ran right on never slowing down and cleared it by I'm guessing about 6 inches but daaaaaam. Really?

    Reminds me of a Bill Engvall joke.

    Doesn't he need an "Oversize" sign to haul a bridge that wide? :D

    Uh-oh. Want to tell us about it? They say confession is good for the soul. Or is that confusion is good for the sole?:D
