Normally when one of these appears in the news, they blur out the number plate:
I suppose it's a bit pointless when the name of the Company and their website address is all over the vehicle.
Apparently, "It is our priority that your products arrive at your customer in the condition you both expect." and "Our express service has been developed with short lead times and vital just in time with delivery in mind. Archbold is an express delivery service solution provider you can rely on. We deliver on time, every time."
Apart from this occasion.
They do have some nice old pictures though:
The bridge crash is actually from this BBC story about the most hit bridges in Britain.
Network Rail said there was an average of five railway bridge crashes per day nationally, with repairs costing an average of £13,000 per strike.
That particular bridge is in Leicestershire and has been struck 25 times in a year.
This is all almost unbelievable.
The height warning signs have both Metric and Imperial markings so we can't blame ignorance of either system.
I suspect Sat-Navs.
Either that or trailer manufacturers are in league with bridge manufacturers and warning sign manufacturers to fiddle the insurance.
