The view a Blackvue will give you if mounted inside the truck versus mounted on the windshield would vary depending on the model truck you have. You would need to reposition the camera to give you the desired view.DLKeur Thanks this. -

Always hated the term "dumb". It has been my experience that it has usually been applied to very nice people that were learning about something new and felt what we all feel when we are learning: lost and afraid. Big difference than dumb.
Smile, keep your chin up, but not jaw out. Listen with ears and heart of understanding; not necessarily the sound of the moment.
You and your affectionate other will do VERY well. Believe in yourselves and each other. It will be hard on you both, but I feel it will be good for both.

Couldn't agree more but I have to be honest I have been thinking of getting one because of the way the industry is changing and now you need proof to show that someone is lying. And I am speaking of others drivers as well...there is a new trend of driving side by side for miles I don't know who is teaching this... mile after mile staying right next to another driver... something happening out there...

I think with the legal atmosphere the way it is a dash cam is a necessity. Case and point about a month ago my brother was stopped at a red light behind another truck. The light turned green and the lead truck began to accelerate forward his trailer on the other hand accelerated backward and hit my brother's truck. He didn't have a dashcam, and was blamed (both by the cops and his company) for rearending him despite several pictures showing his trailer on the ground (which the other driver quickly rehooked causing further damage). He is still fighting both and may have to try legal action to get the accident off his record. He's now got a cam.
