It's every driver's responsibility to pay attention to the road signs, and to have at least a vague idea of the dimensions of their vehicle. These basic rules are arguably even more important to observe if you're driving a heavy vehicle – but apparently one Chinese truck driver caught on video ploughing through a height barrier didn't get the memo. The footage, from Zibo City, Shandong province, clearly shows the signage erected on the Zhie bridge, which stipulates a maximum of 20 tonnes and a height limit of 2.9m, which the driver of the truck either didn't see or chose to ignore, leading to near-tragic results. Without so much as a feather-touch on the brakes, the truck smashes into the height barrier, sending it flying through the air, with one half dropping into the gap between the two lanes – hopefully into Taigong Lake. The cyclist, who could easily have been wiped out, reported to the incident to police, leading to the driver's arrest. #financial_support_div{ display:none; position: absolute; width:300px; height:180px; margin-left: -150px; margin-top: -70px; /*- half of width and height */ top:50%; left:50%; padding: 5px; opacity:0.9; filter:alpha(opacity=90); z-index:1000; background-color:#000; color: white; } .close_box{ background: gray; color:#fff; padding:1px 3px; display:inline; position:absolute; right:1px; margin-right: -13px; margin-top: -13px; border-radius:3px; cursor:pointer; border: 1px #000 solid; } $(document).on("click",".close_box",function(){ $(this).parent().fadeTo(300,0,function(){ $(this).remove(); }); }); Loading the player ...
