    I saw that this morning. Now maybe folks will at least be able to see one benefit to the company AND the driver of having a dash cam running. I wish I had one back then...

    i think most of us would have moved to the left in an attempt to hopefully not hit the truck. or at least not hit the drivers door....man...that sucks. what an idiot to try to do a u turn in front of him, HE JUST PASSED him HOW could he have already forgotten that ??????

    Hi Giggles, I still think it was a suicide attempt. Lot of disturbed people out there.

    Hi EG, same here. probably pulled for the language. I even showed it to some family members (before it got pulled) so they could see what can happen in our jobs. The 1st few times I watched it, that went right up my spine, like it was me in that situation. I think I'm going to sell dash cams to truckers.:yes2557:

    Pulled for language? On YouTube (where the video was originally posted)? I doubt it. But more like it was pulled "on the advice of my lawyer".

    Personally I think it's a shame the driver of the ford is going to survive. He'll be back out on the road and pulling more stupid stunts in the future. Next time it might be a much smaller vehicle he pulls out in front of.
