A regularly struck bridge on the edge of Nottingham has a warning sign triggered by a vehicle height detector (as well as lots of fixed signs). There are turning places on front of thee bridge in both directions. In spite of all this, it still gets hit. In recent years, a low loader carrying a large excavator hit the bridge. The resulting chaos led the excavator to collide with a car travelling in the opposite direction with fatal consequences.
Perhaps a spike in the centre of the steering wheel triggered by a low bridge warning might work.

The bridge leapt out from the side I suspect.

The Devon and Cornwall police have an Artic Tractor unit that they deploy from time to time and the number of wagon and van drivers (+ cars) they pull up and prosecute is quite frightening as they are either playing games or texting on their phones, hard evidence is easily provided by the network providers to back up their own video footage. One was watching Netflix  This could explain a few incidents. This statistic was frightening too - how the heck can this be a good idea..Darwin in action.

They ran out of belts ! or maybe they were totally wasted.. ![[Linked Image]](http://tm-img.com/images/2023/05/22/pc.jpeg) British women allowed to join police forces in 1921 in Great Britain. Although women in Great Britain were allowed to be police officers, they were not granted power of arrest until 1932.
