Good catch. It is amazing that they do not have some kind of electronic 
height checker on the approach to the underpass, if it is a major road. 
But then again...there is an underpass in Copenhagen where a Swedish 
double-decker bus had a similar accidents two or three years ago. The 
consequences were more serious, a couple of people got killed and many 
injured. There were signs showing the maximum height, but only after the 
accident did they put in a height checking device.
