These routes are normally always checked by the Coach Companies for suitability ie low bridges, width or weight restrictions.

Maybe the driver thought he/she knew a nicer albeit unofficial route.

It is a Main Road
but that corner needs cutting back.

Maybe the Driver was just not concentrating enough or going too fast
