OK...he didn't even try to drive under the highest part of the bridge either. Geeze, in my rig, even if I KNOW I have a couple of feet of clearance, I try to stay in the center lanes...just in case.
And how could he NOT see the sign?...It's right above the smashed bus! LOL
I agree with DarkRubiTJ..."Ya can't fix stupid!"

I've read that all the bus, truck, motorcycle setting does is change the vehicle look in the display - it has nothing to do with routing.

Physics overrules signs on bridges.
Signs on bridges overrrule numbers on maps
GPS database numbers are probably derived from map numbers IF those numbers were ever looked up in the first place.
Not reading the sign on bridges before proceeding under bridges is almost always directly related to a software error in the device that connects the steering wheel to the seat cushion.
"If this guy was a professional driver, he should have known his bus was 12 feet high and couldn't fit into a 9-foot box,"
IMHO: Case closed right there.
Not only was he not watching the signs, but he was probably looking at the arch of the bridge at about eye level! I don't know about anybody else, but if I was driving and I was eye level to an obstruction and had a few more feet of rig over me I would do everything I could to stop first. As the dispatcher always says, "Backing and overhead collisions are ALWAYS the driver's fault".
