Oh, lookee here at Storrow Drive inbound this morning, as Kara Sassone shows us. At least his brakes worked.

I'm not usually a believer in "fine them until it hurts", but the $200 fine for Storrowing your truck is not high enough. Even a few thousand dollars doesn't properly account for the productivity lost, gas wasted, and pollution created by this carelessness. Happy I'm working in my pajamas today.

But put proper and adequate signing in place first. And that includes advising drivers of the exact maximum clearance (instead of the vague 'Danger Low Clearance' warnings) BEFORE they even have a chance to turn onto the entrances.

I would suggest an automated that detects over-height trucks and shoots their engine block with a .50cal rifle. Maybe that will get their attention where the half dozen signs haven't.

Now there's some logic: Hundreds of private citizens lose productivity and waste gasoline, so the state gets more fine money out of the truck drivers.
