Some truck drivers shouldn't be allowed on the road this reminds me of the winner in Auckland that hit the over-bridge with the digger boom

I understand it held up all traffic into Wellington along that primo route this morning for many minutes. Just shows how vulnerable the Welly access routes are. There's only a single lane going in thru the TT.

Should be the drivers job to know the size of his vehicle/load!

So what about the pilot vehicle. And who organised the load.Was the crew from Wellington! Most trucks dont go that far into Wellington, usually get off at Aotea Quay or Hutt rd, a guy I worked with from the South Island wanted to get to the Bluebridge terminal and his GPS told him to get off at the terrace and head towards parliment, in a 20 metre B train lol. How was he to know I have been there myself doing floating line haul in a B train across the country not a nice feeling and everyone is human but you always get the hind sight experts who never fuck up.

Theres warning signs before the previous 2 exits telling drivers with high loads to exit before they get to the tunnel, theres no excuse .

When you are building your Lego service station model they are the big ones that you use a little model truck to carry them to the site.

Correct, no excuse at all, all drivers should know what they have on the back and where it will or wont fit.

it may not have had a pilot vehicle, they don`t need one for over height loads
