New figures released by Network Rail said there were almost 2,000 cases last year of HGV drivers misjudging the height of their vehicle and smashing into rail infrastructures - which works out at an average of five incidents every day. Not only does this cause massive delays for both rail passengers and other motorists, it also costs the tax payer a staggering £23 million in damages. That's roughly £11,500 each time a lorry ploughs into a bridge.
