Ouch and you kill a trouper

 

Glad he's gonna spend time in jail

 

Did you see the dashcam video???? Never ever was there a better reason to NOT TOUCH YOUR PHONE while driving. This should be required viewing.

 

Ok so I'll ask the obvious question..........How can a dash-cam be a good thing? All this did was demonstrate the culpability of the company. yes I said "the company" because they employed this guy. The investigation may well have revealed that he was on his phone at the time of the crash but the dash-cam leaves no doubt and makes the company vulnerable to a civil lawsuit. I'm sure the company didn't have this in mind when they put the dash-cams in the trucks. The company I work for has them as well and their response is "it's there to protect you." Yeah right.......What's your thoughts? And oh, God bless the fallen state trooper.

 

Why they blaming facebook sounds more like porn and everything else the guy is a dummy

 

Wow.

Just .... wow.

Condolences to the family and friends of the officer that was killed.

 

Simply put, the dash cam will capture everything within it's view.
If any violation, negligence, or fault is within it's view it will be documented, for "anyone" to see afterward.
That may end up showing sole fault of a trucker (ie. improper lane usage), a 4-wheeler motorist (ie. cuts too closely in front of truck), or the scene itself (ie. improper/inadequate traffic warnings).
So it all depends on which party is at fault, whether the dash cam will be your "hangman" or your "vindicator".

Sad neglectful tragedy that should NOT have happened.
Condolences to the officer & his family.

Add:
This video should be a reminder to all truckers, especially new drivers, that this job is about driving professionally, that's it!
Trucking has NO place for texting, video games, or any other senseless distractions.

 

I hope this guy go to jail for life sentence and i bet yall the arizona state highway patrol gonna have a meeting and start pulling over trucks for little things, tryna be annoying its always like that when a trooper die, RIP TROOPER.

 

They already do.....It was around 2005 when they started their out-of-control enforcement. Now every municipality around here has a DOT. Meanwhile non-commercial traffic cruises by at a meer 90MPH with broken taillights, headlights and all kinds of other violations. They're almost never stopped.....Don't get me started!
