I doubt it, from the look of things the trucker was taking a wide right and the PT tried to cut inside him. Given that the truck probably has a sign on the back warning against exactly that I would hope the blame will be squarely placed on driver of the PT.

All it takes is one rear end in a top hat.

A guy I know drives a waste management truck for a living. He was parked on the side of the road with his hazards on, doing a curb pickup, when a Sheriff's deputy in his cruiser rear ends it. No injuries, no major damage, but he got ticketed for it. Somehow. And had to actually fight it in court.



Failed to see this, hit it, and ticketed the driver of it.

Putting my :10bux: on getting scared because the rear end was getting loose & slamming on the brakes into snap oversteer backwards into the opposite side of the road.

Terrible car stuff: car journalists determined to refer to SUVs as "utes" when that term already means something else in the context of cars.

Reading an article the guy mentions mini utes coming to the US which got me excited until I realized he was just writing about compact crossovers.

What a let down.

Well what do you expect him to do, admit he was wrong?

He's lucky the deputy just gave him a ticket. I had two cops pull out of a parking lot in front of me (I was able to stop in time), proceed to pull me over about three blocks later, scream at me for 15 minutes and then threaten to kill me if they ever saw me again. I lodged a complaint, department sat on it until the dash cam footage was rolled over and closed the investigation due to "lack of evidence." If I ever get hit by a police car I'm tossing the keys out the window and then laying face down on the pavement with my arms and legs spread out so they can't claim I was fleeing or reaching for a weapon.

If you live in a state with two-party recording consent now you're not only facing assault on an officer/attempted vehicular manslaughter but also wiretapping and likely interfering with police business (and they'll probably toss in resisting arrest for good measure) charges.

Turn it off before you roll your window down, it's not illegal to run it in your own car without other, unaware persons present.

Alternatively, just don't record audio.

Sheriff's deputy

I once spent three long miles behind a County Sheriff talking on his phone and dawdling down a two lane highway at 50mph. Traffic was too heavy to pass.

I was driving an F450 ambulance lights and sirens and blasting the air horn up his rear end on the way to a chest pain call.

Accident occurs, other driver gets out and immediately starts threatening you, just off-camera. Nobody else is around, but suddenly you have a witness that can't be argued against very well.

I'm not sure about the relevence of that. Call the cops. It doesn't change the liability.

Move in front of the camera if he gets threatening.

I went and took a look; it looks like he understeered, one wheel left the road into the dirt parking bit, he overcorrected, powered straight into the hill, flipped once, and came to rest.

this might mean he was still on the throttle when the driven wheels left the pavement:



up:



and I didn't get any good pictures of "over" but imagine a roughly McLaren shaped piece of disturbed ground with plastic bits all over it.

Me and my dad picked up some litter while we were there. Some jerk left pieces of carbon fiber all over the place. Also this thing, which my dad grabbed

I actually live not far from what used to be the Cadbury US headquarters (it's on the same major road that I live off of). Though it looks like they spun off years and years ago (2008) - it's now Dr. Pepper's HQ. I'm not on that stretch of road often. :shrug:

This is why I keep audio turned on. If I need to, I can always edit out the audio.

... though Texas is a one party consent state anyway. It still potentially comes in handy, even if I get pulled over and the cop asks me to turn off my car - being a GM, the car has retained power, so the cam keeps going for up to 10 minutes (or until I open a door). (and gently caress if you if you think I'm turning off my car when it's 105 out and my a/c is the only thing keeping me from dying a slow death)

Recording consent only applies to conversations that are assumed to be private, such as a phone call or a conversation inside your house. People aren't protected from being recorded on a public street. If an officer has ever told you that, they were lying to you to get you to delete the footage. There's no expectation of privacy or confidentiality for an event occurring in broad daylight on a public road.

I didn't say you'd necessarily get convicted, but if you haven't been paying attention despite multiple court rulings that it's completely legal to record the police as long as by doing so you don't physically interfere with their ability to do their job police are still confiscating cameras and arresting people who try to record them.

I guess the point is if you have a dashcam rolling during an officer-caused accident hope they don't see it and whatever you do don't tell them "my dash cam caught the whole thing."

Good, let them arrest me. The ACLU and co have plenty of lawyers for exactly that kind of case, and right now with four circuits concurring and one dissenting on the issue, it's primed to be a Supreme Court case along the lines of Miranda soon enough.
