Trucker Bad Behavior

Dash cam footage mounted to windshield? Is that why camera is away from windshield and is tilted down to see dash cluster showing speed. Hmm.

Being focused on taping in said manner even if "foreahead cam" is distracted driving.

 

only if it's you, videoing another driver, would YOU claim it IS a distraction.

 

Follow the logic here you are distracted by trying to be a YouTube super star. You are obviously too worried about making your video super trucker. We are all glad you are a perfect driver. I guess I missed the lead up to the video. Did he start passing in a passing zone? How do we know you weren't speeding up slowing down so you could become a YouTube super trucker super star. So worried about everything but driving. Foreahead camera steering wheel holders. If you wanna play traffic cop I suggest you quit trucking.

When you rear end someone (I.e. prime) the lawyer will be sure to bring your videos and attempt at you tube super stardom up in court.

 

Lose his CDL, lol. Next up, a video showing someone changing lanes without signalling, a true menace!

I don't condone what the dude with the stepdeck did, I wouldn't do it myself. I see it all the time though and it's far from a mortal sin.

I think you weren't paying attention and were caught off guard when he showed up there. You couldn't find the gear and had to come to a complete stop. You should have seen it coming and either slowed to let him in or closed to the gap to discourage him. I'm all for leaving space and keeping rolling but at the end of the merge point if you're going to leave the space you should know someone is going to make a run for it.

What was going on behind you? The guy probably couldn't find anyone to let him in and took his best option. Again, not agreeing with what he did but it's far from being the grave sin you are trying to make it out to be.

The biggest risk was to him. You never know what debris will be on the shoulder.

 

Safety conscious.
