Why you need a dash cam

I agree on having a dash cam. I was making a left turn from an off ramp today that is only one lane. A 4 wheeler decided to come around me on the shoulder to make a left and get in front of me. My truck is a long nose 379 so I couldn't see him until he was in front of my truck. Then he pulls into a parking lot a 1/2 mile up the road. Me being young and fired up, I decided to pull in and let him know how I really felt.

 

How do you know he could see the other bikes. He is driving a 379 Pete. I drive the same truck and know its very hard to see anything to the right side next to the cab or hood especially a motorcycle. Looks to me he was trying to get in the right lane to avoid running over these idiot bikes.

 

WATCH the video at the 10 sec mark you can see him wiggle the trailer over (right left of the steering wheel)then straight then fades over and stop's 1/2 in the next lane as 4 more bikes pass then get back in the left lane..... no way he didn't see them coming..... 1 bike maybe but 4 spaced that far apart he HAD IT SEE them....

 

Did you see the brake light? Had I been watching his friends in the mirror what would have happened?

Sorry I forgot it's perfectly OK to pull in front of truck and apply the brakes.

So I drifted right, they dropped the hammer when the signal came on.

The road was littered with gators that day, would have been great had there been some when they jumped out from behind the Marten truck.

 

Bikers ALWAYS ride like that!! They're the worst! Always wanting YOU to watch them ,instead of being accountable!! Nothing new.

 

yes I did

if you had been watching your mirror's like you should have you would have seen them coming BEFORE they got in front of you

I never said that

you didn't drift you wiggled your trailer over to the line by doing a quick right left with the steering wheel then you went straight THEN you went 1/2 way in to the right lane as they were still passing you 2nd to the last bike had to ride the white line to get past you, that is not drifting that is you being upset with them and cutting them off........ and what did you turn the signal on for so you could DRIFT back to the left lane....

the simple fact is if a cop saw all of it YOU would be the one getting the ticket for ROAD RAGE and your dash cam would be all they would need

 

you obviously drive a slow truck...whats he supposed to do? wait til he is on his ICC and then get over???

but i forget....you know more....my mistake.....

 

i am not condoning the OPs actions...HOWEVER...blast away...i cant say i havent been guilty of a lil intimidation myself when someone acts stooopid.....2 wrongs make a right? no...but funny as heck....aint had an accident EVER..and i imagine the OP hasnt either.....
