Is this kind of thing happening more often? Or am I just reading more news as I get older? I'm thinking of all the dump trucks in Southern Ontario who have run into signs and bridges with the lifts up, along with this. It seems much more incompetent than the usual regular citizens renting a UHaul and hitting a low bridge.
Part of Halls Lane has had a closure at an intersection, and on the first day a truck trying to maneuver its way out hit the building and conduit for my building's security cameras, knocking them out. The next day someone lightly hit my car leaving a decent scratch and paint, but I can't tell if it was another truck since the cameras were out. And finally today, less than 24 hours after asphalt was laid at the closure, a truck decided to remove the cones and drive right through it (didn't replace the cones after either, so he just decided for himself and everyone else that the road is now open!)
