[QUOTE="104Feeder, post: 1326996, member: 42554"] I could see the argument being made that the Driver can only go with the information presented and if it proves unreliable that the rest would be suspect. He should have crashed at that first bridge, yet cleared it no problem. Then cleared another that was too low, then crashed on one that was higher than the first. How many bridges did he clear before that? And why wouldn't the State put clearance bars up at the entrances to stop an overheight vehicle before it ever made it onto the actual highway? It's a lot cheaper to replace a bar than fix a bridge that's for sure. Is there signage at the entrances warning that overheight vehicles are not allowed?? And that whole bit about yellow signs to add inches and white signs are the true height...seriously? And how often are these clearances re-measured after paving and road projects? I'm sure the Company will rape him but as far as his citations that would be an easy win in AZ, and maybe result in a lawsuit against the State. [/QUOTE]
