Returning to an old job, I just requested an automatic and drive cam.

A fair point. It is a trade off. Management having a view does not bother me, I can see how it bothers some. If I have the Drive Cam, it is done. No system for me to buy and maintain, no files to keep. Done.

Yes, I am hitching my wagon to my company. I am fine with that, a big problem/accident comes up. Like it or not, we are hitched. We will be in court together. Strength in numbers. Driving a company truck, I represent the company. I would have to hire a private attorney but will want to have Drive Cam/Company attorneys as well. They are likely going to have greater experience in how to use, when to release, what to release in a situation to the best effect than I can come up with. More know how about it than I can buy from a lesser experienced private attorney. Company is going to want to have me on their side as much as I want them on mine.

 

I'm on Camiguin Island in the Philippines. Simple flip down screen cams seem to be popular here. I see the taxi drivers use them. I'll be returning to work, get the truck at the end of the month.

 

Someone claims you where talking on your phone and did not react fast enough to avoid an accident. You get pulled over, set your breaks turn off the truck, undo your seatbelt to grab your license and registration. Officer writes you up for not warring your seatbelt. As I said, protects you as it can disprove a false claim someone makes about your actions.
