HGV drivers involved in a bridge strike could be suspended from driving or imprisoned.
Now, if an incident is brought forward to a traffic commissioner, it will be reviewed and the driver or fleet manager will be assessed for their responsibility in the bridge strike.
In the worst cases, drivers and transport managers may be called to a hearing and the driver could be suspended from driving or possibly face a prison sentence.
Lorry Route helps you avoid these risks with affordable, compliant HGV routing, customised to your vehicle. Our low bridge route planner with always up-to-date maps store every bridge height in the UK, making sure drivers can avoid bridge strikes.
With each vehicle’s dimensions stored in your account — height, width, length and weight — we’re able to build you tailored, fully compliant routes, wherever you’re heading in the UK. Avoid PCN fines, narrow roads, roads closures, Low Emission Zones and the upcoming Ultra-Low Emission Zones.
