    You don’t have YOUR OWN dash cam ? !

    someone ELSE controls what you’re allowed to save and keep from
    The dash cam

    get your own dashcam !

    the Garmin one is by far the most user friendly for Bluetooth downloading the videos from the dash cam to your phone .

    Not sure if I’m even allowed to have a second one. Not really my truck. Will look into it.

    My employer doesn’t allow personal dash cams. As they say, a driver doesn’t want to set themselves up for litigation with their own personal video footage. Best to just stay out of all that.

    That’s just BS. You have your own cam and then you can control what you do with the Information.

    I didn't ask my company. But my camera is plainly visible in the windshield right next to the company camera and no one has ever said anything.
    Companies mostly won;t give drivers a copy of their cameras video if needed after a accident or ticket. Lawyers are concerned that the driver might post it on an web site, like this one. That's why I run my own camera.

    Judging from the only picture you posted of it, I would have used the tire Iron to pry just a little away from the tire and drove it home. Are there more pics showing real damage?

    If you don’t take into account the broken axle, shattered windshield and airbags deployed then sure you can drive away I guess
