You are putting out bad info! Per the California Vehicle Code (CVC), no loads shall exceed a height of 14 feet. The CVC Height Section is 35250, and is copied below:
35250. No vehicle or load shall exceed a height of 14 feet measured from the surface upon which the vehicle stands, except that a double-deck bus may not exceed a height of 14 feet, 3 inches. Any vehicle or load which exceeds a height of 13 feet, 6 inches, shall only be operated on those highways where deemed to be safe by the owner of the vehicle or the entity operating the bus.
The code goes on to state which roads have less than 14' restrictions.

I don't think you needed to say he was "putting out bad info". I am sure his heart is in the right place and it was not intentional. You can simply say "the calif code is actually such and such". Otherwise it sounds like he is intentionally leading people astray which I am sure is not the case. Thanks for the updated info, we can all use another 4 inches I'm sure :-)
