Dash cammer says trucker committed a 'smoke and run,' leading to multi-vehicle crash Looks like the truck has a weed burner exhaust,possibly in HEST mode while driving. Either way, the dashcammer didn’t reduce speed or maintain a space cushion!
i dunno, can the trucker really be charged with anything? he can always claim "it happened all of a sudden, so it must be the fault of the computer"....
Just doin’ a California re-gen. As long as that truck has it’s clean idle sticker it is compliant and allowed to smoke and burn things down.
No such thing as a "smoke and run," but there are such things as "following too closely" and "too fast for conditions." Good luck with your legal hail Mary.
Just a typical bad driver that didn't react properly to conditions, hit something and wants to blame everyone else for his incompetence!
whew... i thought i was gonna have to give up smoking my ceegars........while i'm driving...!!!!!!!!!
