    I don’t think it’s unreasonable for someone not super experienced in truck driving to assume the vehicle will be able to drive on most roads. I feel like there’s a lot of “Person blindsided by uncommon hazard gets laughed at” around.

      I am not super experienced in truck driving, but I think the reasonable (and rational) thing if I am driving a big truck, is to not take a chance and go under that if I don’t know how tall the truck is.

      It’s also not unreasonable to expect responsibility from people who regularly handle vehicles of several tons to know how to drive.

      America has this weird aversion to critcizing drivers.

      This is a defense that nobody needs or asked for. If you don’t understand the very, very simple concept of clearance you shouldn’t be driving a vehicle and especially not a truck.
