On a serious note, would the insurance pay out for this as it was driver error as the height was clearly shown that they were to tall to get under this bridge.
I would be really gutted if that was me.
What ever goes on in these drivers minds to make an error like that and they are not the onlyones to do it, I have seen pictures of buses and Lorries do the same?

When we first went to France in our camper van it was the Bastille celebrations and a lot of roads/routes were closed, whilst driving along this traffic cop started to usher us a diff direction around a bend which led to yep a low bridge like the one pictured , with traffic so busy it was not possible to stop as you were on it before blinking so to speak... Scariest moments ever, think John can still hear me screaming .. And yes it was one of Rouens low bridges
Really feel sorry for these folk, I wondered if the insurance too would cover them x

Where did you put ADACs recovery number darling.:Sad:

Put yourself in there unfortunate situation what would be your actions.
Do any of you have a continuance plan for such a disaster or would you just sit and cry. It would appear that full recovery help is not always to be relied on so what is your plan B. :thumb:

Apply sun factor 25.

Ok.. sit and cry like a baby for ages... then..........................

I think I would simply get it out from under and drive it as best as possible to somewhere off the main drag

remove all personal items and anything that could be used in a replacement van, then have a wee accident involving a match !!

And remember, this really could happen to any of us..
Its all well and good saying it was clearly marked etc but you all know as well as me how you drive along, chatting away and going under loads of bridges on main roads..

It is VERY easy to become complacent...

I shall be extra diligent in the coming months ( at least for a while .. until I forget and once again become complacent ! )

It is good to have a plan, I was driving my sons van last week which had a duff battery. He had a new battery but was unable to get the securing bracket off so the new battery was in the back along with some jump leads that I put in before leaving home. Myself and my lovely lady were in traffic on a three lane carriageway and of course I stalled it. My lovely lady jumped straight out and had a few words with some impatient drivers then said what do you want me to do. I said get back in the van. I used the jump leads from the new battery and we were on our way, she was amazed the whole episode only took two mins from start to finish. That was my plan B. Sitting waiting two hours for the RAC was not going to be an option.:thumb:

 

[Jaws]

In this particular case I do not think you can really have a back up plan.. and jump leads simply will not crack the above problem !!!!

We had the same in rouen ,caused by me missing a turn on instructions from satnav and ending up driving alongside the river and satnav then telling me to go down one of the tunnels 2mtr high , almost panic mode, but wifey noticed it same time as me and I did an emergency stop ( annoyed several french drivers :Blush:couldn't understand what they said but got the gist!!!! of what they meant.) You've got to be on your toes all the time.

Perhaps the word you are looking for is arson ??

CAPTION....."well the A frame looks ok but the Smart car is a tad flat"

 

[WynandJean]

To all the smug people who say it's stupidity and you just need to concentrate etc. it is easy enough to take that attitude as long as it happened to someone else. You may feel differently if it actually happens to you. And just because it hasn't yet don't think that it can't, no matter how smart you might think you are.

OMG I could cry for the poor buggers....................

 

[sedge]

Yes I'd cry I expect, except mostly in an accident you are so stunned you don't behave as you always thought you would.

I'd like to think I would make sure I had the important things - passports, money, tickets, medication and then find an hotel. Or alternatively sit in th wreckage and say to Pete - I know we've always wanted aircon darling but this seems just a tad extreme to me ....

We very nearly Went and Did It following diversion signs in Marseilles 2 years ago and this year in Rouen, yes we would have been well on the way to a 2m tunnel if fortunately! there had not been another diversion, so we physically couldn't. What really got up our noses in Marseilles was that nobody would actually let us out of the 'wrong' lane, which involved quite a 'violent' swing to the right from a standstill as a kerb (which then turned into a wall) started on our right just after the front of the van, so Pete only just had time to slam the anchors on before we were past the point of no return.

Can't remember exactly what Pete said at the time, but I'm fairly sure it was something about none of the other motorists' parents being married ....

Thank you so much, yes of course we did it deliberately just to wind you up - so that worked well ...... must try it again sometime !

Not.
