Signs and flashing yellow lights--not intended for meeeee!

You know we get some of those same stupid drivers going under the railroad bridge just east of the Kennedy at North Avenue.  Fortunately, I have never seen anyone drive as fast there as some of those folks in the video so they mostly just get stuck and tie up traffic for a while.

Saw the aftermath of this last week at the bridge over Clybourn north of Fullerton - not good!

Best comeback ever from a trucker after a cop stopped at the scene of one of these bridge-collisions.

Cop:  Is your truck stuck under the bridge?

Trucker:  Nah, I was delivering this here bridge to the next town but I seem to have run out of fuel.

Many of those were rental trucks or trucks/trailers just small enough to not require a CDL.

I think there is a driver training message here...
