Bus Crashes

No shit!

They are deliberate acts though.

I'm fairly sure bus drivers don't deliberately crash into bridges.

You would have some sort of signal emitting device on the bus, which is detected by a sensor on, or near the bridge.

Fascinating looking along an avenue of trees and seeing the line where they are repeatedly pruned by passing high vehicles.

Aye, technology already there for vehicles  , was actually wondering why it isn’t utilised more and came to the conclusion in my own head that it must be as it would be going off in trees as the bus went by , but yes if it was on the bridge and it was that that triggered the alarm , ie a sensor on the bus that picked up the sensor on the bridge that would be a good idea, along with drivers remembering they’re in a double decker and reading road signs 😄

Reckon we should develop it- make a packet at this rate.

Why don't they put a sign on the bridge saying how high/low it is and also tell the driver how big his/her/their bus is?

Can't believe nobody's thought of this.

We used to have a roof rack on our car before my other half forgot we had a roof rack on our car

I’ve always wanted the bike roof rack but worry for the same reason
