Either way I don't think that's a perfect example, but I would prefer a camera watching the front of my truck. Case and point today when I was out with my road instructor just watching the idiots try and dodge the truck like it's going to give them herpes. I just don't understand why the world got in such a hurry to wait.
Why most of us should use dashcams

i'm sure glad he had video to prove he was 100 % NOT at fault. don't think the judge would agree.

People do not discern how much of their motoring is performed with woefully inadequate sight lines. -
If you're going to have a dashcam don't do stupid crap and then post it for all to see!!

I think it is plain nuts to not have a dashcam. If you are a O/O it is one more protection for your business. There are too many smooth lawyers out there that will try to rip us off because of their client having deeper pockets. If you have video proof. It will be hard to dispute when there is video evidence. I wonder how long till the insurance industry gives a discount for having it installed.

I don't think he would have noticed the slowed down traffic that much in the left lane until it was too late, he was in a car with a lower line of sight than a semi would have. Also the blue lights may have not been seen till too late, the van had already done his turning into the intersection. What was such an emergency that border patrol had to be cruisin with lights on anyway and not watching either.Last edited by a moderator: May 9, 2015

Two observations:
Was the 911 operator stoned? The ability to speak clearly and enunciate should be a requirement for that position I would think.
Also, the way the camera flipped up to capture the grill flying through the air was PERFECT!ReconCornelius and Infosaur Thank this. -
Funny how a regular sedan was able to put the big van, likely a one ton chassis, on its side. Not very stable.bergy Thanks this. -
The driver of an emergency vehicle is subject to the motor vehicle laws, and can be ticketed when moving against a light.
