We love GPS… but you can’t rely on it all the time! 🛰️ Most are designed for passenger car navigation, so if you’re driving a tall vehicle, check your height before you get on the road to make sure you can safely clear overhead bridges. #checkyourheightknowitsright

If you see a low clearance sign up ahead, make sure you can fit safely under the bridge. 🚧 Don’t and it could cost you time and money. 💰 #checkyourheightknowitsright
