We have a train bridge in our area where the road is 9 ft to the beam, drops down under then up the other side. Tandem dump trucks, cement trucks, box cube vans, you name it, have smashed into that bridge. Has Many signs and a hanging chains type affair to hit the truck a out 30 ft before the bridge and they still don’t stop. The other bad part is there’s a creek that goes under the roadway and after a hard rain it could be 3-4 ft deep, cars still TRY to go thru and flood out. Every time the bridge is hit track has to be shut down for inspection and this is the main corridor on the eastern seaboard. This has been going on since cars-trucks were first made in early 1900. Convenient cut thru l, about 9 miles around the other way.

I saw a youtube video of a low bridge that is constantly scalping tall vehicles. Really crazy to see how many don't think the low clearance warning applies to them.

Good thing he didn't have a real truck [ Dodge with a Cummins ] he would've hurt himself.

I've handled claims with that exact scenario. Not cheap at all, especially if the restaurant has high drive-through traffic. The loss of revenue can easily exceed the cost of the repairs to the building if you have to shut down their drive through. I've found that whenever possible, it's cheaper to pay the contractor an off-hours premium to have them do the work on overnights than it is to pay the restaurant owner for lost revenue. It's also much less hassle to calculate. "Oh, it's $x dollars? How much to fix it between 10pm-6am?" vs. rummaging through accounting documents and spreadsheets.
A lot of years ago, my wife and I came out of our local Cracker Barrel and heard this awful screaching noise. It would stop for a minute, then start up again. She finally spotted the culprit. It was a young woman driving a big u haul truck that had tried to go through the Steak and Shake drive thru a couple of lots over. She had it stuck pretty good. Finally, an older man came and got in the truck and just pulled it on out, tearing down the big red awning in the process. Now the awning is on the ground and the top of the truck is torn up. I wondered at the time, who's insurance is paying for this?.

The insurance company for the renter of the truck would be responsible for the truck damage, and for the building damage. If the renter didn't have enough liability coverage to pay the full damages to the building, the insurer of driver of the truck (if different from the renter of the truck) would also likely kick in. If the driver/renter was the same person, then potentially U-Haul's insurance would end up involved.

I’ve bee RVing for years. It’s amazing how many clueless clowns have bought RVs during and since Covid. Most don’t have a clue on how to drive them off maintain them. You have to start making reservations at least nine months out to get a spot in a camp ground. Most are rude to. They are destroying the RV culture. mad

iagree My wife and I have a permanent spot in Myrtle Beach Travel Park now, after pulling a 5th wheel for years. The Covid campers provide almost as much entertainment as going to a boat ramp with a chair and a cooler!
