Now, as to wether I’d take 2 litres of milk under a 13ft bridge…well that’s another issue entirely
Now I get it.You can take a 4m truck under a 13 foot bridge so long as it’s carrying milk in metric containers.

While the law states that you have to go by the ‘marked’ height indicated in the cab and on the bridge,obviously in imperial not metric.Any deviation from that regarding international operations being a stupid loophole in the law which needs to be sorted.
Where does the law state that?

No the idiots are those who’d happily take a 4m truck under a bridge marked 13 feet.
If you got into a rigid box and there was a large sign in the cab that said “4 Metres” would you refuse to drive it on the grounds it is foreign, or would you remeasure it in feet and inches and cellotape a sheet of A4 with “13’ 1½” written in large letters then spend your day comparing that to the imperial part of any bridge sign ?
Seriously how would you deal with that problem?

The law states that vehicles of that type of height have to have an in cab indicator showing the height in imperial.There isn’t much point in that unless they intend it to be referenced against imperial bridge height marks.

If it’s too difficult to remember that realistically it’s a 13’ 2’’ high vehicle I’d take it as my responsibility to establish its height in imperial in any way which I won’t forget.In just the same way that if I was running to Europe I’d need to establish/remember that it’s a 4m vehicle when a 3.5,3.9 m or even 4 m bridge sign appears ahead.Height indicators obviously having been deemed as being essential here at least and marked in imperial with good reason.It’s not rocket science.
whats not rocket science is driving a 4m truck having no doubt driven under countless 4.1 m bridges,and looking at a sign on a bridge marked at 4.1 and having any doubts at to whether your truck would also go under this one…irrespective of what secondary writing was displayed under the main one.when driving in ireland or perish the thought wales…then it dont matter that the road signs say in the foreign dead language,your eyes pick the native signage to suit your own eyes and disregard the rest.i.e.4.1 meters…there are none so blind,that will not see ect. 
…keep flogging your dead horse now… 
Helps if there is only one system notified but no use if posted information is contradictory and wrong.
Place I’m working at until the new Year, most are marked up 4m unless DD and they are 16ft, 14ft 7in or 15ft 9in.
Wonder how many would take a 4m trailer without imperial markings under that bridge in op?

Surely in CF’s world of imperial’ism, that trailer is illegal

The difference is that there is no precedent in Wales that anyone ‘needs’ to reference signs in Welsh probably because the English translation can be relied on by necessity.Unlike metric v imperial bridge height signs.

You seem to have missed the point that at least if it’s a UK operation it needs an ‘in cab’ height indicator marked in imperial.Which leaves the question what happens in the case of international operations.
Never mind in cab indicators that company needs pulling up for marking trailers up like that…

The trailer marking is fine the issue is that of knowing the height in imperial when driving it here.

When you say “driving it here” ■■? Do you mean in the UK ■■?
Just asking as it’s a UK trailer based in the UK to be used on UK road network, with… guess what
The height in metres !!!
Oh my God , how dare they

But once again for a bridge to be marked 13’ then minimum it can measure is 13’3" which is 4.0386m thank you pleaseLet’s get this right you want to make up your own rules by ignoring the marked height on bridges and using a margin which may or may not exist,or may exist to a greater or lesser amount,because of numerous variables.Good luck with that.
While the law states that you have to go by the ‘marked’ height indicated in the cab and on the bridge,obviously in imperial not metric.Any deviation from that regarding international operations being a stupid loophole in the law which needs to be sorted.
UK law requires it to be in feet/inches or both on UK trucks but this truck in question is from Flip Flop land where metric is king so his height indicator would be just in metric.
Just rang “Paddy Power” and they’re giving me odds of 7/1 that this will get to 15
