The Dash Camera Thread (Videos)

[Ziggy122]

you know what - i dunno what it is but i've had soo little show, such petty things like people walking on road its pointless for me to show

I think something about dash camera's has helped us all predict things better and nothings happened since?

Also sludgeguts have you considered reporting him to his company?

I manage between 100 & 150 miles per day - all in and around town so I tend to hit plenty of roundabouts, junctions etc.
I get plenty of people on their mobiles but due to window tints, very few of them show up on the cam.
The problems come when you get idiots like these & you have to try to stop short of hitting them without chucking my vulnerable passengers out of their wheelchairs.
I have reported this driver to his company, sending them a link to the YT video - but haven't even had the courtesy of an acknowledgement of my email.

How long ago did you email the company?

If not - i'd be ringing them up and asking to speak to the manager

I sent them an email on the evening of the event - 24th.
I would've expected at least something back on Friday.
Have to wait and see if they reply on Monday.

Ditto.

I think they were all lucky tbh, box van could have seen that coming if reading the road, all 3 drivers appeared to have failed to do that.

Saw this on trucknet the other day, the TN-CSI broke it down frame by frame and apportioned blame almost equally to all 3 drivers

The Green truck for being a muppet and not seeing the broken down truck, the dashcam truck for not noticing the obstruction ahead, and the boxvan driver for not noticing the hazard and/or situation developing and moving over out of the firing line.

All of them, lucky sods though !

 

[Ziggy122]

Dash camera truck i would say isn't to blame, he hit nothing, just hit a massive youtube paycheck for the video!

I'd say
Yes box van for not moving over more - he had done already
The Green Tractor unit didnt A SLOW or be react sooner (not paying attention)

More through luck than judgement. The HGV that hit the box van wouldn't have hit anything (ok, yes I know he clipped the broken down HGV, but only just) if the box van hadn't have been there.

If someone had been up the side of dash cam HGV then he'd have been at fault.

Another Lockup and another near miss for me....

[sludgeguts]

He would likely be on his phone talking or texting... some lorry drivers seem worse than other drivers for doing this.

Some even look at porn...

Not dash cam, but I thought worth of posting.

 

[Bigredbus4468]

Bloody shocking and I am a bus driver. How could he get it so wrong?

 

[Ziggy122]

They came down quick but he must of ignored the pre warning lights to a dramatic situation which didnt develop

Gonna say, there's generally loads of noise & flashing lights long before the barriers aven come down.
