  Let the tyres down! Or lower the road or jack-up the bridge.

  It's not as if there aren't plenty of warning signs all the way from the Folkestone end.
  No doubt the firm will get a big bill from Network Rail but whether they pay it is another matter......

  Often caused by the foreign drivers using cheap sat navs only suitable for cars.Proper hgv sat navs although not fool proof are far more accurate and give warnings of bridge heights etc.

  I agree Andy but I drive thousands of miles each year mainly in Europe in a truck 4metres high using a car sat nav that is 6 ears old, although I do have a newer one in reserve. The fault lies purely with the driver.
