In my district ANY backing accident is preventable. Everything is up to the company discretion.

Most utility companies and cities have set heights as to how high lines must be placed. That being said the couple of times I tore down some tv cable lines I just kept driving. I wouldn't recommend that in todays UPS but at the time it seemed like the thing to do.
