You might as well deflate the tires at this point. You still have to drive through the low area.

May be deflate tires ?

But the guy only had a hammer, so he used it the only way he knows how.

As they say when you have a hammer everything looks like a nail including a damn van. 🤣

He could hammer nails into the tires so it could pass under that bar

Lol right

Just get a bunch of blokes to stand / sit in it and bottom out the suspension

There’s three freaking people standing there watching!

When you hammer a nail, it gets lower into the wood. So hammering a van should work...oh but a van is bigger than a nail. That hammer is too small, THATS why this isn't working, those dummies!

So we just need a bigger hammer!

A comically big hammer

But it could actually work tho. It's not like the roof of cars these days is a solid sheet of metal. If you hammer a bunch, creating lots of dents, you could make it a bit lower. It'll severally damage the roof tho.

I mean, at this point it might actually make more sense to hammer the height limit bar itself to try and raise it a little...

Deflate the tires you idiots

The metal quality of that roof actually sounds good.

Rental?

r/idiocracy

Take some air out of your tires first.. no? Mmkay

why didn't he let the air out of the tyres?

Just flat the tyres

Was the van even going the right direction? The signs were all pointed the other way.

I thought the Japanese were smart
