Its totally the drivers responsibility, if was given another route he should have been more aware.
I often drive high vehicles and i am like a fvcking meercat observing bridges and tunnels warning signs. | | | |

Well no, not public enemy number one but if that passenger with life threatening injuries dies? He has to live with the consequences of (at least) driving without due care and attention. He'll probably not drive a bus again.
Until we know the full facts maybe we shouldn't condemn him but when has the court of public opinion been fair?
I see drivers do batschit crazy things every day and get away with it, this driver made a bad error and is going to be a hot topic for days. | |

It is hard to understand why a bus driver for 42 years would drive a 14 or 15 foot high bus into a low bridge of 11 foot unless something happened like the brakes failing or having a blackout or something. | | | |

Don't think we'll ever really know what happened. It's like that case in Glasgow where a bin lorry driver ploughed into a load of people.
Might have been incompetence, might have been a total brain fart. In any case I've got little but sympathy for all involved. | |

is it time to call an end to double decker buses then?
I imagine that would be a tough call for a place like London. | |

The Glasgow case is a matter of public record since the inquiry. He passed out at the wheel due to a number of pre existing medical conditions that he failed to tell his employers or the authorities about. | |

Or do like they have in Gowerton - have a sign with sensors which trigger flashing signs alerting the driver his vehicle is oversized and to use another route | |

No excuse for what was obviously a horrendous mistake. However, in trying to understand the driver's miscalculation, I wonder whether the fact that there are two bridges close together came into it. Coming from the City centre the first was high enough to let the bus pass, but not the second. Very sad. What must have been an exciting academic visit to our city cost this poor woman her life. | | | |
