    I guess because technically he didn't hit anything there wouldn't be a mark on his record? Wonder if he even told them he was involved in an accident, I cant see him being employed much longer after a 27 million dollar verdict against his company for his actions...

    Yes, technically didn't do anything wrong, no tickets, no contact with another vehicle. For all intents and purposes, still has a clean record or as clean as he had before going forward.

    I film tons of aggressive drivers like this all day long, but I catch a ton of hate comments to the tune of "mind your own business" type stuff. I do it because we should be self reporting and self policing our own industry rather than letting these aggressive drivers go around killing people and then the government has to get involved to 'fix' the problem with speed governors on all trucks, cameras watching and listening to us drive, front bumper braking radar etc.

    Just curious as to how many dangerous drivers you're reporting to police? There is a huge difference between promptly notifying law enforcement when you witness life/property endangering acts, and filming the same supposed acts (without ever reporting them) then promptly posting those videos to YouTube. IMHO, filming a dangerous act without ever reporting those acts to 5-0 usually means the acts weren't as dangerous as the narrating on these videos would suggest.

    Well I think in defense, police probably wont do anything anyways without them seeing it directly. Posting to YouTube then linking the offending companies safety department is probably the better play, when possible. Kind of like when someone over CB claimed to spot one of our drivers rolling through Wyoming while playing a guitar behind the wheel, got video, sent it to Mallory, and said driver no longer works here, with a record as an unsafe driver to the next company.

    I've called in seemingly drunk 4 wheelers late at night, and they never ask for video proof, they just say they will let someone know in the area to be on the lookout for them.

    What's crazy is they have no clue where these barges are...

    They need to put ELDs on barges, so they can track them.

    Hope that doesn’t damage the integrity of that dam
