How about some kind of engine cut off / emergency brake system that would legally have to be fitted to every tall vehicle, and then a system (either gps or using some kind of system mounted on the roadside) that would trigger the engine cut off / emergency brake when the vehicle gets to a low bridge? Sure it may be a hammer to crack a nut (as it would be expensive and wouldn't allow for differences in height) but if drivers continue to be stupid and reckless then what else can we do? Maybe a ban for such drivers under dangerous driving laws?
Might be difficult when you have tractor units which pull a range of different sized trailers...
