Oops!

I suspect there may be a vacancy for a car transporter driver after he misjudged the height of his load and hit a rail bridge in Perth earlier today.

It's just a couple of scratches, they'll polish out

How the hell did he forget his height? By the look of it, he wasn't even close to fitting through

This seems too be happening more and more often, here take a look at this.

Rail bridge at my local destroyed.

I think that drive is pretty much well beeped now.

Reading the title Oops! made me laugh.
My missus driving the SD1Vitesse ran into the back of a neighbour due to icy roads and severely dented the front wing.
I used to do vehicle lettering so I applied Oops ! In white lettering.

She was stopped on the way home one night by the local plods who had a laugh and said someone’s got s good sense of humour.

Back to the bridge, the driver will be in soapy bubble as he should know the exact height of his load.

There was a low bridge in Glasgow which got hit regularly. I was sitting having my lunch one day just a short distance from it when a truck removed his entire top going through it.
They eventually closed it off after some children got killed after a double decker hit it with the sad consequences.

My pal in Perth drove past this today and said they were all a right mess! Funnily enough he drives a Range Rover and was glad his one was not delivered today!

I've seen something like this happen before my eyes. It's terrifying when you are there seeing this and hearing this.
