Back in March, this truck's raised dumper hit a pedestrian bridge over I-90 in Cleveland. The bridge had to be torn down. The truck didn't do too well, either.

Yes, perfect analogy.
They destroy their trucks, then blame the bridge.

How many of those drivers crouched low in their seats thinking that would help them clear the bridge?
We have several 11'8" train overpasses in our town. They have put up bigger signs and flashing yellow lights, but that hasn't eliminated the accidents.
Actually there are GPS receivers designed for trucks that help them avoid low bridges. Major thorough affairs are often routed around low bridges. Lots of parking lots and other facilities have low bar indicators with bells or other warning devices before you go under.
There’s plenty of warning. It does no good.
As an example, there’s a business next door to mine. It has a nice large well made sign, anyone who is conscious wouldn’t miss it.
Many people still come to my door looking for the other place.
For an experiment, I tried putting signs on my door like “Danger Electrocution Hazard”, and other such warnings.
Didn’t do any good. People opened my door anyway and asked for the other place.
Mm... Mmm.. Max Headroom!
We don’t build trestle’s like that anymore. That’s one solidly built train track, I tell you.
LOL, probably all of them duscked some.
