Know your height!!
Well… this is one way to discover your horsebox is taller than you thought. 😬🙈
Thankfully this wasn’t one of our boxes, and even more importantly there were no horses onboard ❤️🐴
But it does serve as a reminder that low bridges don’t care how experienced you are, how many miles you’ve driven, or how many times you’ve been down a road before. One wrong turn, a moment’s distraction, or a sat nav with its own agenda and things can go horribly wrong very quickly. 😔
Our hearts genuinely go out to the self-drive company involved. Behind every horsebox is a small business, countless hours of hard work, huge financial commitments, and often someone’s entire livelihood. Losing a vehicle like this isn’t just a damaged box – it’s lost bookings, insurance headaches, repairs, stress, and uncertainty. 💔
So whilst the internet loves a good “you can’t park there mate” moment… let’s remember there are real people dealing with the aftermath today. ❤️
A good reminder for all horsebox drivers:
✅ Check your vehicle height
✅ Plan routes carefully
✅ Don’t blindly trust the sat nav
✅ If in doubt, stop and check
And if you’re ever unsure about a bridge height… it’s far better to turn around and look silly for five minutes than become the star of Facebook for the next five years. 😅🙈
Wishing the company involved a speedy recovery and hoping they’re back on the road soon. 🍀🚚
🐴❤️🚚
