Semi attempts to drive thru covered bridge built in 1800s

"Baudelaire was cited for driving on a closed roadway and failure to control his vehicle."
Why wasn't he cited for being to stupid to breathe air?

 

Ayup, theres a small old stone arch bridge near where i live that is marked 12'8" and it also has a weight limit of 19 tons. I often take that road because my rig is 12'5" and only 17 tons empty and i know i fit even in winter plus it saves me a good 30 minutes on the way home. Local PD knows about it and doesnt care because i fit and am a local.

We have construction right now and currently 2 or 3 trucks a week are getting caught under it because they dont follow the detour and stay on pavement rather then the dirt road that is the actual detour and ignore the local trucks only sign.

 

Use Google Maps or a car GPS and this could be you.

 

I bet his family tree lacks many forks.

 

this and many other reasons why the general public push/force thier legislators to make rules, tougher for truckers.

 

Here's a fun one:
“Completely unreal” bridge collapse sends truck, car into Norway river

 

seems to me, like it "really" happened..!!
