There are signs over here that state how high the tunnels are, but still drivers hit it. That is kinda retarded.

To be honest, the pic looks funny indeed, but my guess is it actually works (If the truckers actually stop after they hit it that is)
Happened to me once. But it happened only the second time that I went under the bridge
I had a heavy load on the first trip, which I'd offloaded. Then, driving back, there was this horrible grinding screech, and I was jammed solid. Let some air out of the tyres and it was fine. My heart almost stopped though
