There is a underpass in Paris that’s only 2.4m in height and a lot of truck drivers ignore the warnings and try to drive through only to have their trucks ram into the ceiling. Someone with a lot of free time set up a blog for this underpass where they postpictures of trucks after trying to go through. [Link]

the question is can 248 underpass ?
isn’t this the same underpass which
Princess Di & Dodi crashed ??? looks like it…
Someone should open this up in paint. Add “Fail” to it, and submit it to Fail blog. 😀
What a waste of metal!
LOL at ‘someone with a lot of free time’…
I must say that I find most people who do this kind of thing to be much more busy than their readers…
Wow quite unbelievable that so many accidents occur there. But I suppose if you’re new to the area and you come across it few people actually read the height sign and even if you did you would probably be too close to stop.
so what happens when you get there and stop? you reverse.. wouldnt that get you into another accident
Hooo no, i’m busy too… But i’m working near the underpass ! 😉
I lived there for 5 years and yea ur right they do ignore it and i saw it happen right in front of my eyes once. a very loud bang….:S
Bu Yousef thank you! Pssht.. a lot of free time. I was slightly offended by that comment mark. So taking a photo of a bear everyday makes me a person with too much free time on my hands?
admin2m40 keep up the very entertaining blog! It will go down in history when paris considers changing their infrastructure to accommodate for those stubborn drivers. Bon chance!
Not sure how or why you found my comment offensive. At the end of the day I am posting here as well daily so if it was meant to be offensive I would have offended myself 😉
I meant it in the lightest of ways. Just pushing your buttons!
this is ridiculous – that underpass only cuts off a very short wait at the Arc de Triomphe (like 1 set of traffic lights to get to the other side – I use it every day to get to work on my motorbike). Some people are so f-ing lazy and stupid.
It’s not far from where Diana died but no, it’s not the same underpass. That was at the other end of Avenue Marceau.
