    This truck driver got on the binders, kept it under control and avoided what should have been a multi vehicle, multi fatality accident.
    Watch the offending RV driver just slowly saunter away...

    Driver of the motorhome owes that company 18 new tires IMO.

    And now the truck driver is gonna get called into safety because he had a "hard braking" incident.... which will no doubt go into his personnel file.

    I thought of that, and hope that he either has a dashcam wired directly to his companies office, or someone can alert him to this video.
    Either way he is guilty until proven innocent. And companies wonder why they can't keep qualified drivers.

    I would not have let that motorhome drive off after doing that.

    I would’ve immediately got out of my truck, put my cones out, put my flashers on and stood in front of that RV and not let it leave. Guaranteed at a minimum his entire load shifted and probably was at least partially damaged. Not to mention he’ll have flat worn spots on basically all of his tires. There’s potentially still thousands and thousands of dollars in damage here, despite no contact being made.

    And an excellent job by the driver, avoiding what could’ve very easily been a fatal crash. For himself or the RV driver could easily be dead here. He slowed it down as much as he could, and then turned to avoid the collision at the last second.
