He was listening to the voice on the GPS advising him to take the U-turn and didn't see the height warning sign. 

Sometimes warnings and signs don't help. I remember after the 2011 flood, they raised Borom by almost 30 cm so it would act as a floodwall the next time there was one. But they forgot to adjust for it with new signs. Shortly thereafter a truck carrying a huge concrete pipe piece took out the sapanloi near my house. Late at night and nobody injured.

Says the same about drivers in Europe, UK, US and Australia also.

What about New Zealand, Middle East, West Asia, Africa and South America... ???

Quite right, those too.   You left out the Pacific islands and India but I couldn't be ars_ed listing all 192 countries!     Which one are you from, I'd guess one of my suggestions?

I doubt that the massive bridge would have any problem with a tap from that lorry!

Looking at the photo...    This is definitely not the first time !!!...

 

In fact when going under any of these ‘lower’ U-Turn bridges just look at the scrapes...  its clearly very very common.

substantial!

Definitely not a word used in Thai construction.

 

Of course you wear rose tinted glasses.  

 

Thais would be the first to say government construction works are mismanaged and of extremely poor quality.

 

Probably as bad as Liverpool.
