It would seem logical that if a driver were unaware of his load height, then he should be charged with the damage and mayhem caused. On roads where there is a low bridge and no easy method to avoid said bridge, it would also seem logical for the council to install height bars (like in shopping centre carparks) just prior to the last safe exit for said road so the poor truckie, who may not know the area, at least has some chance of escape. It's not much use a truck approaching a bridge only to find that, "Oh, Shit! It's too low, now I've got to turn round, Oh! Bugga, the road's too narrow. Now there's a line of cars behind me! I'm stuffed!!!!!"
