@ernest causon
I thought you were clever! A sign is made on both sides of the bridge so that one can see it when driving in both directions. Is this so strange?

I bet that these chaps will get away with a slap in the hand, especially the owner, and if he is a contractor, I am more than convinced that I will win the bet as he will threaten with making redundant his workers if he is punished because that is the latest norm that certain employers are doing if they do not get things their own way!

" The vehicle was not licensed or insured. The licence had expired in August 2006."

Where are Transport Malta and the traffic wardens. Have the vehicles been impounded for being driven on the road without insurance cover and duly licenced? Have the owners been charged a hefty penalty for such contraventions? My son was slapped with a traffic offence ticket for not affixing his new licence on the windscreen just a few hours after the date of expiry of the relative licence.

Surely the vehicle that caused the damage should be confiscated and crushed as well as the owner paying for the repairs to the bridge, since he should not have been on the road in the first place with a license that expired 4 years ago.

The law provides for a maximum height of 4 metres (from the surface of the road), inxcluding the cargo being carried where the vehicle is a goods vehicle. If a hire load has to be carried, in special circumstances, then a permit is required from Transport Malta and police escort is required.

@Joseph Galea
The sign you mentioned should be fixed at a point before entering the road leading to such a bridge.
If fixed on both sides of the bridge, what is the driver supposed to do at this point, make a u-turn and drive back on the wrong side of the road?

I hope that a sign, on both sides of the bridge, stating what is the maximum height that can pass under the bridge,will also be put in place on the bridge. This is a must!

In a perfect world the Carmel Spiteris, if guilty, would also pay for about €20 petrol burnt, a packet of cigarettes and my confessor (my feelings towards the people responsible were't so catholic) !! :)
