Thanks for this Terry.
It's crazy isn't it?
Dear Mr truck driver, you must have a height indication in your cab coz it's
taller than 3 metres.
Oh right. Let's see ... (scribble scribble) ... there 3.5 metres, OK?
No mate, feet and inches please!
Eh?

commercial vehicle drivers do have to know. They are supposed to have
a sign inside the cab with the height on it in both metric and imperial
but as far as I know there aren't any laws requiring it.
All vehicles with an overall travelling height of more than 3 metres must
have an in-cab indication of the vehicle height in imperial units. There
is
no requirement to have metric units.
