The signs at the Lincoln Tunnel connecting New Jersey and Manhattan clearly state that clearance is 13 feet. The rig Gilberto Cantu was driving was 13 feet, 6 inches. Still, he drove all the way through the tunnel before he realized he’d not only peeled off the top of his truck, but also took out the tunnel’s ceiling tiles! Link -via Reddit

    Unfortunately for this driver 13 feet meant exactly 13 feet. Most truckers know (or think) that this height has some variance in their favor. Most clearance take in account of repaving or snow.

    Another proof that trucks shouldn’t be higher than 8 feet and the driver should be strapped to the front bumper!
