HA! I happened across that video a few days ago. There's an underpass at UCLA that has a really low overhead at one point; I probably see a truck jammed underneath it at least a couple times a year. Hello! Read the signs, Einstein! _________________ Three eyes. Four wheels.

This happens quite frequently in Europe and more specifically in the UK where they have all kinds of similar low bridges. 13'-6" is considered the standard max height of any commercial vehicle. The CA DOT lists all freight route highways that have overpasses lower than 14' http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/trucks/trucksize/height.htm Commercial vehicles on city streets are basically on their own. Remember the video of the 5th wheel that took down the bank drive-thru? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCBeQn2N9Js Pics of the aftermath: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGMtkmEeGDk

We went through a tunnel near Williams AZ that was unmarked for height. Tracy got out and watched as I drove through to make sure we would fit. _________________ 1996 ZJ "The Black Pearl" 1999 Ford F250<br />
