Hi Ian

The FTA produce excellent stuff regarding bridge bashing.
There's leaflets, posters, DVD's etc.

Also, the DSA produce good images under their
LGV trainee drivers' syllabus.

Hope this helps..............

There's a video out there on the www somewhere showing the staged bridge strike which Railtrack(?) set up to show the consequences of a double-decker bus impact ?

Try the following link. I have e-mailed the photo to you as well. This happened last year early in the morning on the M80. I don't beleive it has gone to court yet but might be wrong.

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Should really save this for Friday, however as there is a thread on the subject:

A lorry driver was driving along. A sign comes up that reads "low
bridge ahead." Before he knows it the bridge is right ahead of him
and he gets stuck under the bridge. Cars are backed up for miles.
Finally, a police car comes up. The policeman gets out of his car
and walks around to the lorry driver, puts his hands on his hips
and says, "Got stuck?" The lorry driver says, "No mate, I was
delivering this bridge and ran out of petrol."
