Could you have let some air out of the car tyres?
Been done, trying to get a bloody great truck under a low bridge after the local roads people slapped a nice thick layer of fresh tarmac down.
Had about 5 cm of clearance before the fresh tarmac went down (it was a regular delivery). And ended up with about 5 cm of clearance after they’d let all the tyres down. Police weren’t too happy, as it was on a mountain pass somewhere in northern Spain. And it takes ages to let down, then pump up all the tyres on an artic.
Turning the truck round really wasn’t an option. Never did find out what they did for the next delivery…….
