    This guy has his own agenda and I guarantee it has to do with him making a buck. He himself is just as guilty of following too closely, etc. that he cites the trucks as doing. He rides many times right on the quarter or in the blind spot of the rig he is filming thereby limiting the drivers options even if he did want to change lanes to get out from behind the vehicle. I notice on his website that he "deletes any negative posts or users". What's the matter? Can't stand a little objective criticism of YOUR driving? None of this lessens what these truckers are doing but it sure is hypocritical. Of you drivers out there, who thinks that if these drivers did back off to the recommended following distance that another four wheeler wouldn't just jump into the gap in these traffic conditions? That's the fact of the matter. And then you back off again so another one can jump in? It doesn't take but a few times of that happening and you're doing ten miles an hour and impeding traffic flow thereby causing an accident that way.

    Alright, I'm bored.

    Here are my criticisms. I'd link to the individual site, but I don't want to generate traffic for this clown.

    Clip RWH 225, Sept 14 2010. Truck is tailgating a car. Videographer is in right line. (At 1:41, videographer is passing speed limit sign for 55, his GPS shows him doing 64. 4:15, V is not giving proper following distance of the truck, less than .5 seconds behind ((after making this clip about truck tailgating a car)))

    I hope State Police write tickets for this guy (V). I'm not going to comment on his videos. None of them have more than 50 views.

    Want to shut this unsafe 4 wheeler down??
    Everyone hit his website several times a day and click the flag button that you tube has for each video. 1 generally will have a video pulled but several in a short time will have them pulled in no time! Just get them as soon as they hit click on the "flag" button and also if the rate thumbs down button shows click it and too many thumbs down they get pulled but lets put this arse out of business.

    He is just as bad as some of the trucks he videos by speeding, inattention to driving by operating a camera while driving, he also tail gates and he sits next to trucks knowing he's blocking the truck into a what could be a dangerous situation!
    Also you drivers that do a lot of the I-40, I-78 I-85 I-59 I-24 corridors or the South East region from _-40 south start looking out for this 4 wheeler with all this crapola electronics hanging all over and put out his description so everyone knows and maybe if he managed to get drivers fireed they have a way to sue him for harassment. Or some LEGAL way to get compensation! And maybe they can find this guys ex wife as that has to be the reason he's so into this hate he has for drivers as he came home and found his ex wrapped around a trucker!

    Anyway here is the procedure for reporting him:
    Click on the video
    Click the flag button then a window opens below it
    click on "Report this video as inappropriate"
    put cursor on "select reason" and a pop down opens
    then put cursor on "Hateful and or abusive content" which it actually is and a side box opens and click on "bullying" because he IS bullying drivers by getting them at most fired and then unemployable costing the state somehow in unemployment or some kind of government cost. But any reason you think of will work!
    Click the bullying and then the "flag this video" button next to where the report button was and then go to the next video and do the same! OH! also click the thumbs down button!
    But this guy is as dangerous as some of the truck he's sitting on their side videoing! Oh he's just as bad using his blinkers as some trucks and 4 wheelers! I've heard the stupid thing clicking for over a minute! Or not at all!

    Just do the last week or so videos and this should keep the guys working!! And him out of work but really where does this clown get the money to do this???

    It sure is hard to drive 2 trucks at the same time. If everybody would just drive their own trucks no problem.Just call the police, and let them earn their money.

    Just think if everybody that's giving this guy crap did their job, which is drive safe,he wouldn't have anything to do. Nikondvr if you drive just 5 mph slower than the flo of traffic then all those cars that get in your way will be further in front of you in no time. Try it I dare you

    So... a safe driver isn't allowed to criticize the unsafe 4-wheeler, who could at any minute during his amateur debut run into one of the trucks he is filming, or another 4-wheeler, causing a pile-up that could possibly affect the lives of innocent people?

    First of all, there is always gonna be some idiot driving like a fool... and this guy would blend right in with them...

    We don't all drive the same, and if I want to give him crap... I will. I have a right to speak my mind, as well as be concerned for my safety. It's not about downing somebody, it is about the well being of ourselves and others that we share the road with. Who knows how many problems on the road that this guy has caused, but the videos never made it to the site because of liability. Maybe you will get to meet him one day, but don't forget to shake his hand and commend him after he rear-ends you trying to catch somebody that he thought he saw picking their nose.

    The thing is there is only a hand full of drivers that see what this guy is trying to do. The rest are making remarks about how unsafe he's being. I have ran across this guy in fact my company is subcribed to his site and I was a star in one of his videos a year ago so I know how he does things. First his camera is full remote mouted on a remote swivel and the controls are on his steering wheel with a monitor on the dash. As far as his driving goes, he doesn't drive any worse than other four wheelers and has to get truck information so the company will know who he's reporting. Some of the drivers he gets doesn't really deserve to be critisized for what their doing but company's can see what's really going on when they see it. If ya'll don't see how bad these steering wheel holder are driving then I hope I don't have to drive the same area ya'll do. It comes down to we just don't like the idea of us screwing up and being caught.
