Ouch!

If they let the air out of the tyres that might allow it to reverse out.

Eyesight test required.

Nearly happened to me in my previous MH, my fault as I'd missed a SatNav turn on way to Rowntree site and this was "recalculating".

Luckily (and sensibly) I stopped, and did a 15 point U turn .

Trucker friend of mine was delivering, Inverness area. Fully loaded under the bridge no problem, hit it on the way back out.

If they had not put that flaming great bar across so low he would have got though alright.

Oh dear - Should have gone to spec Savers!

In all seriousness, hope it isn't someone on here.

And it's all very well the bridge height being indicated in 'feet & inches', but most MH heights are provided in metric! Not really an excuse, however.

Trust it won't be too expensive to fix...

I did enjoy the one of the stories linked to on that page. Funsters don't need to go to a museum to "enjoy" this....

Son in law was delivering to Tesco and the Police had put in n a diversion on the main road.
You guessed it the route took you to a low bridge.
The Police had to come out and put a road closure on so he could turn around

What annoys me is that some of these low bridges are not signed till you get to them.

I was once driving a large furniture removal van and had gone 1/2 mile down a narrow lane before reaching the bridge. Not the easiest vehicle to turn round - had to back up 4-500 yds to a narrow gateway to reverse into.

My thought was that I had missed the sign at the start of the lane, but nope - no bloody sign.
