Are we really back to normal if the Montague St Bridge hasn't claimed a truck's roof to appease the Bridge Gods?

A true Melbourne icon. Sydney has the Opera house and harbour bridge, we have the Montague St Bridge.

You know things are dire for @LiberalVictoria when a truck getting stuck under Montague St Bridge gets more coverage than their press conference.

I love that true Melbournians celebrate the important stuff.
Like the Montague St Bridge claiming another scalp today. 🏆

If everyone who hit the Montague st bridge had to give up their license we'd have a massive shortage of drivers.

I moved the mop from the laundry to the kitchen 5 days ago and no further action has been taken. Plenty of cake has been eaten though.
