A reader recently sent us this footage of an accident involving a semi truck and an SUV. The first thing that came to mind after watching it? Good thing they caught it on video.
This video was uploaded to YouTube on November 21st, and shows an incident which occurred a few weeks prior. The footage shows a Chevy SUV making a left turn into the path of oncoming semi truck, which was just a few feet away. The decision to turn led to a direct collision.
If the video evidence didn’t exist, the truck driver would have been heavily investigated and at risk of losing his job. His ability to put food on his family’s table may have been taken away — all because of the carelessness of another driver.
In a day and age where truck drivers seem to be guilty until proven innocent, a dash cam can be a career-saving tool. With a wide variety of affordable dash cams on the market today, there’s no reason for any professional driver not to have one.
If you currently run with a dash cam, let us know which model and if you’d recommend it to other drivers.
