Whether male or female, there is no excuse for what this idiot driver did.
That said, there are far to many bridges in this Country that are in extremely bad shape. This happens more due to governmental waste than anything. Between Governmental waste, and just plain poor planning when building new infrastructure, or failing to maintain the old infrastructure, it's surprising more things like this don't happen.
We had a local bridge rebuilt years ago using Federal funds. They filled a bottom to build about 150 yards of road bed, straightening out a bad curve that the old bridge was part of. They built nice, concrete abutments on each side, and then a really nice, new bridge. They tore the old one down......and then rebuilt a glorified version of it right back in the same spot. Once the second new bridge was in, they tore the first one down, even though it was built just as well, and actually straightened out a dangerous curve. All of the gravel fill was given away to anyone with a way to load it and haul it off. Neighbor in the know said they had to rebuild the first one, in the same spot, because using federal funds meant they couldn't make more than a 10% change in what was originally there. SO, to save money by prohibiting a 10% change, they spent at least 200% more than needed to complete the project within those guidelines.
As far as weight limits, when there are businesses built at the end of roads where heavy equipment is routinely needed, and there is a low limit bridge in the way......or rather one that the state allows to deteriorate until it becomes a low limit bridge, what are the businesses to do? In the words of one mobile crane operator we worked with years ago when asked that question, his response was "What low limit bridge". They can't force the state to repair the bridge, they can't move the business, and they can't do without the equipment to keep operating....All they can do is take the chance and hope things work out......

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
