After that horrible accident in Florida, with that Indian guy who killed 3 people in an minivan.. something struck me... Why no trucker is standing against the driver facing camera?
Far from looking for excuses to that guy, horrible accident, with absolutely no reason to be so incredibly stupid to U turn on a interstate... BUT... Because of that camera, on top of the fact that he became infamous all over media, the prosecutor ask 45 YEARS OF PRISON, instead of 5.. Because of his reaction.... This scared me a lot... I don't understand those drivers who accept to work for all those big companies that will throw them under the bus in case something happens.....

Simply put. Wrecks from driver looking at a phone are a huge problem. Its not throwing adriver under a bus ! It is however a way to shed some liability from hiring a driver that is So Stupid, that they watch videos or post on facebook while driving instead of Paying Attention.

Life is not fair... I agree with that... And by the way, it's 5-10 year in Florida too.. Not just in Canada... They decided to put him on homicide charges just because his reaction... Imagine that you get scrutinized after an incident because you had only one hand on the wheel... Not both, for example.... Doing everything right it's the goal, but when you mess up big time, wich obviously no one want... I would say you deserve 10 years instead of 45, don't you think?

Honestly, many of us do hate inwards facing cams and object. That being said i own only my company and my truck where i refuse to use them. Not anyone elses. Ill fight against most things being mandatory with some noteable exceptions based on my own moral code. I wont work for a company with them. And i sure as hell wont for for a company with AI camera. That said if people accept the pay and they accept the camera. Thats on them, if it becomes mandatory i will leave the industry as soon as i can. However, i and many others woll deal with a crappy inward facing cam before we let loved ones starve or lose our home to our pride.
Make of that statment what you willtscottme Thanks this. -
