Vote NO! on interior facing cameras

Less. Seems to be a pattern. You lied to me, so it's my fault for believing you to be honest...? Brilliant. I'll try not to repeat that error.

 

This is hilarious, just rub one out going down the road, who knows you might end up on youporn... LOL!!

 

We all being watched , everywhere I go I see tiny cameras.

Store clerks , shopping centers , filling station pumps , the list is endless.

It kinda funny that we don't really trust one and other anywhere on this planet .

 

In some ways, you can certainly see why.

 

I'd quit any company with a camera facing me at all times

 

What are you going to do when the time comes, that all companies have driver facing cameras in their trucks? Because that day is coming, and if any one thinks it isn't, and drivers can unite and stop it....dream on brother.

 

The human animal is criminal by nature. They will take the path of least resistance to gain themselves the most benefit, and perform fantastic mental gymnastics to justify it. That's why we need laws, so the strong and fast don't eat the weak and slow.

A slower vehicle is often instinctively interpreted to be operated by a weak person. "What's this idiot doing?" "Everyone else is doing 15-over...." Etc.

Then there's the unpublished 10/80/10 Rule Of LEOs.

10% of people would not commit a crime.
80% will if the benefit seems worth the risk.
For the remaining 10% life is just a series of crimes.

The manners of operation of motorists evident on the roadways seems to substantiate that fairly decently.

 

As this pertains to Prime and I was at the safety meeting where all the concerns were addressed to my satisfaction, I choose not to support these antagonists. He sounds like a kook, conspiracy nut.

if you are truly a professional truck driver, you shouldn't have a problem with someone seeing what you were doing behind the wheel and what was going on in front of the truck for the 10-15 seconds before and after a critical event.

I wouldn't mind cause I'm not doing anything stupid. god forbid I got in an accident or a ticket, but I can use the footage to prove someone else's fault. It's already helped numerous drivers that have installed their own cameras.

driver can trigger the camera data capture manually. Great for red light argument with cops, and proving someone else hit you pulling out beside you in the truck stop.

You don't like it, find another company or get another career.... Technology get on board or get out if the way.

 

I doubt all trucks will ever have the driver facing camera, most big companies? Yes.

Where it will backfire on them is in the civil suits, it won't save them any money, unless the video shows the driver doing everything right, with BOTH hands on the wheel, nothing distracting or obscuring vision in view of the cam. (That means a GPS, cell phone in an holder, stuff animal on the dash, etc.)
If there is an accident that results in a civil lawsuit being filed, the lawyers will use ANY nonsense tidbit they can come up with.
'He had dead bugs on his windshield! Whey didn't he stop every 5 minutes to clean his windshield?"

It won't matter what the other vehicle did. The companies will still pay up, and usually settle out of court. MAYBE they will pay a little less. Yes, they happily pay up, even if the driver is in no way at fault.

 

hell I couldn't concentrate on the road because the camera was distracting me....lost my focus that will be a line used guaranteed. hell I would
