This happened just a few miles from me. The falling building just clipped the edge of the truck.

Since he was trying to drive around the building I would say he knew how tall it was, he just didn't know how WIDE it was.Bear45-70 wrote:The only person the driver should be * at is himself for felony stupid for not knowing how tall his rig was.
From what I understand the company that built the bank is being looked at for a law suit considering how easy it was to knock the drive through over.
I'm sure the guy's thinking is "Since I'm to dumb to drive around a structure, I"ll sue someone because I couldn't possibly be at fault." It's one of the major problems with our society today. No one tells anyone they were stupid because it might hurt their feels.GIJoeBob wrote:Since he was trying to drive around the building I would say he knew how tall it was, he just didn't know how WIDE it was.Bear45-70 wrote:The only person the driver should be * at is himself for felony stupid for not knowing how tall his rig was.

Why the * would the bank care?
