    Just curious if anyone uses one and can recommend a good one. Really think it would be a good investment because people out here on the roads are crazy...esp when you drive a truck for a huge company with endless pockets.....people really dont care if you hit them.

    I Recently bought GoPro hero2 and it is Awesome! you can put it anywhere you want in or outside of the truck or trailer.
    So far Iv Caught a Few Good storms iv gone through, recently i went through a bad Snow storm up near Hope Bc Canada, And i have a Head strap that you can buy for it and it caught every thing on tape! Really good Quality! Night time running is Good not perfect but if you have it on the outside of the truck it can see everything Your headlights hit.

    about 4 hours battery life. then get a 32gig sd card and you can get 6 hours of film can be plugged in and used at the same time too!

    So theres my little Review, i say its well worth it, i use it all the time. i truck winnipeg to Vancouver so i see alot.
