I use a 4sight dash cam 2 in my big rig. It's mostly for insurance reasons but I upload my videos from it to youtube occasionally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGLVaEZjYS0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICGFSPVFtYE I've got more idiot driver footage I've been collecting through the holiday travel season but I'm waiting until freight volumes drop down to upload it.

Opensourcepirate posted:I broke my patella (knee cap) yesterday. I was biking to work and went over some black ice while turning right. The bike completely fell away and I landed right on my knee, which fractured into about 5 pieces. I also had my Mobius Actioncam going. Sorry for the injury, rehab the poo poo out of it when you're done healing. I turned my ankle into goo when I was 19 or so and I still feel it today because I didn't do any therapy. Also; all I could think of when I was watching; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5reDsSIiAk

Chinatown posted:I love flashing my high beams and letting 18 wheelers change lanes/merge infront of me and they give me the hazard signal thank you flash. It's a begrudging thank you at night. Flash during the day, turn them off then back on at night. Doing mirror checks at night when changing lanes only to have a face full of HID's turn hit me is seriously painful and makes me involuntarily jerk my head/body in the other direction and I don't think that's particularly safe. As for left/middle/right lane chat out in the country I truck along in the right lane, in cities I am setting up for whatever lane I need to be in miles down the road because of the inevitable merges in town. Houston for example; Coming west to east I get in the second to the left lane in Katy and don't get out of it until past Baytown, going east to west I get in the third to the left lane in Baytown and don't get out of it until Katy. Doing this limits my need to change lanes, and in congested areas driving a truck you are more likely to baseball bat someone off the road with the trailer if you limit your lane changes. Edit: Sometimes though, I've just got to be in the left lane; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICGFSPVFtYE 0rganDonor fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Jun 14, 2015 |

Cartoon posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4u2mmzu4kY I assume the country you live in has some sort of regulatory body when it comes to commercial vehicles, notify their enforcement arm. If it's like the US, enforcement is delegated out to local departments to officers with specialized training. Also a call to the company that employs the driver would be in order and make sure you get the truck number.

That was just outside of San Antonio, Tx on i10. The shoulders are paved solid from Houston to SA for hurricane evacuation. Both the Taho and Blazer could have gone on their merry way and accelerated in the shoulder no problem. I had turned my left turn signal on before those guys got to the middle of the ramp and the car in my left lane sped up just enough to block me from changing lanes and sat there until you see him popping out. If it were just the Blazer wandering onto the interstate I would have dove for the shoulder, but the Tahoe was still there at that point. It wasn't a conscious decision at the time, but, in retrospect, I would have been OK with pancaking just the Blazer. Also at :08-:11 that's not me turning into the idiot, that's the drive tires locking up because the trailer wanted to suddenly become first in line. Bonus; Have a stop sign runner calling my bluff and nearly losing badly; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pc291rpj1pQ 0rganDonor fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Feb 14, 2016 |

EightBit posted:From what I know, it is very hard to not get 100% fault if you rear end a vehicle, especially in Texas. You can do stupid poo poo like park on an exit ramp and get none of the blame for an accident that you cause by doing so (this happened to my cousin, woman parked on an exit ramp to yell at her kids, there's no way to stop quickly enough even when you leave the road at the posted exit speed). I wouldn't be surprised if OrganDonor had pancaked the Blazer and got the majority of the fault. TRANSPORTATION CODE TITLE 7. VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC SUBTITLE C. RULES OF THE ROAD CHAPTER 545. OPERATION AND MOVEMENT OF VEHICLES ... Sec. 545.061. DRIVING ON MULTIPLE-LANE ROADWAY. On a roadway divided into three or more lanes and providing for one-way movement of traffic, an operator entering a lane of traffic from a lane to the right shall yield the right-of-way to a vehicle entering the same lane of traffic from a lane to the left. Sec. 545.058. DRIVING ON IMPROVED SHOULDER. (a) An operator may drive on an improved shoulder to the right of the main traveled portion of a roadway if that operation is necessary and may be done safely, but only: ... (2) to accelerate before entering the main traveled lane of traffic ... Source: http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/TN/htm/TN.545.htm Since it's legal to use the shoulder to accelerate in Texas, and merging traffic must yield to travelling traffic the video would have shown in court and to insurance companies that the blazer both failed to yield right of way, and did not do everything he could have to avoid the accident.
