    I'm assuming there is no night vision capability with a mobile phone, or gps/speed timestamps and whatnot... Can the galaxy clearly read a license plate?

    Looks like they were both a bit slow to react. Whoever is driving the freightliner is the real idiot, no reason for him to have been out there in the first place. People do some really stupid things around plows. Doesn't surprise me this happened on 11 though, seen a lot of people trying for a darwin award on that road.

    It's a wide angle lens. The objects are closer than they appear. Supposedly he is braking as much as possible on the slippery surface.

    I got my cam from videodashcam.com about three years ago, still works fine. Owned by truckers….came in handy...

    As for the guy in Ontario with that video, it's hard to tell exactly what happened and from what perspective. The oncoming truck seems to have time to cut back behind the plow but doesn't, and he should definitely lose his license. Road conditions, load weight, equipment differences…playing monday morning quarter back is foolish and unfair. until it happens your own reaction is simply speculation. Cut the guy some slack...
