To help HGV drivers from driving into railway bridges

Asda, keeping prices low, and keeping their trucks even lower

This is always a lorry drivers nightmare!! And to be honest, it shouldn't even be a thing!! Things like a low bridge by an industrial estate is just crazy! There's no reason for it! You can't raise a railway but you can lower a road! If you put proper drainage in to stop water pooling up, there's no excuse for a low bridge. My truck is 14"6 and there have been times my truck nav has tried to direct me under a 10'9 bridge despite me putting all the measurements into the nav! Luckily I've never hit a bridge yet, but it's an absolute pain in the arse trying to turn an articulated 44t truck around in a busy little street!!
Are lorries getting higher or bridges getting lower?

With supermarket deliveries you are often given a risk assessment pamphlet. Giving info of preferred route and risk and observations needed to adhere to at the destination. He either forgot he was pulling a double decker which sometimes is 16ft 2ins, or a newly qualified driver not sure or aware of trailer heights. Though he should be aware of his height. I doubt he is still working for ASDA.

fair play to the driver he can back a wagon up

It’s a pity the same thing can’t be said about driving one forward

If the driver had driven faster he would have got out the other side.

Transport management are at fault, they have the responsibility on behalf of the company's they work for to ensure the drivers are suitably competent and at the very least have some understanding of the current high way code

Whilst it can and does happen, I had a driver on a CPC Course that I ran that, that had happened to, but not in this instance.Bridge height 14ft, Trailer 16ft 2in, that would have been an extraordinary amount of Tarmac laid.

Well you've never seen Gateshead council put a road down then.
