    Just my 2 cents, but when a vehicle comes up behind you and you don't notice it, the other trucker you moved over and let pass, and you used the F word when you did see him as it was not expected or noticed, you should have known it was a distraction and stopped the Vlog.

    Like other posters have said, you spent more time worrying about the vlog and not enough about the road. I can completely understand wanting to vlog (I've been wanting to get into it myself) but don't do it while driving. Set up a dash cam or a GoPro and record the drive, then add audio to it afterwards as a commentary.

    While driving, your focus should be 100% on driving. Nothing else. Things can go wrong so quickly, if you are messing around with a camera on the dash, you'll miss the opportunity to avoid the problem before it becomes your problem.

    Let this be a lesson to you. Keep the vlogs lowkey and start pounding the pavement if this profession means something to you. It'd going to be an uphill battle to stay employed.
