    Listen, that was me driving that truck. I just bought a truckers addition GPS and was only following my command prompts. I was only paying attention to the little truck icon on my screen and wasn't watching where I was going. You think these high dollar electronic devices would have a loud stop warning, but no, it wants me to pay attention, what did I buy this GPS for?

    No no nnnooooo, a gps would have even known that move was sketchy.

    But honestly ... what was he expecting to do AFTER he got through the AIRPORT PARKING GARAGE that had a 10'5 clearance? Cause for some reason I find it hard to believe that lot is trucker friendly.

    It's really not his fault.........He heard that England was downsizing,and he thought it meant truck size.

    I gotta assume he just plain forgot he was driving a semi and in his mind was driving a car. No other explanation seems to cut it.
