Scotty.

Scotty

Sorry to be vague, I think the minimum is either 16'6 or 17 feet.

Planning on fitting a large roofrack?????:lol1:

All bridges without height signs on them are over 16ft 6in. Anything under this height will have a sign.

from the tarmac or above sea level? :D

17ft i was told as a minimum

its 16ft 6in anythin smaller has to av a sign
i ad that question on my HGV test

lol

Thinking of jumping ??????????

That's a short base jump.. bet you break your legs.. :)

From Nottinghamshire County Council.

Standard height clearance over the highway is 5.03m (16'6"). Bridges with highway clearance below this height have signs attached warning road users of the safe clearance. There is no statutory limit governing the overall height of a load on the highway but wherever possible it should not exceed 4.93m (16'3") in order to make maximum use of the main road network.

Just out of interest, why do you want to know?

Must be some size, high line spoiler :thumb:

16ft 6" min ,as people have said if its not marked up its over this height

gonna by some dapper 198 inch wheels maybe??

hi, thankyou for the replys.

my dad wanted to know as he is a hgv driver and needed to double check.

and yes, that would be one hu-ooge spoiler! And no, im not planning to jump!

HGV drivers should know that, 1st rule. 2nd rule know the height of the cab and trailer

Im fine @ hospital every 2 months for check ups, to make sure nothing comes back. Must be getting near for having some more scans. Fingers crossed and touching wood, and never too far away from a few prayers. Sad to see 22b going mate

good luck with the above mate:thumb: as for the 22B if it sells it sells,but if not ill have to put some more money in to it;):D
