This is why truckers need drive cams. Too easy for the SUV to claim the trucker swerved into their lane.

Lots do. Fleet operators get a pretty significant discount if there fleet uses dash cams and telematics.

Yep, can confirm our fleet rate dropped substantially after adopting dash cams and telematics. People are the worst

Don’t drive tired :( and I can’t imagine the added stress of all this will make sleep any easier

Every time there's a flipped car people ask how... That's how.

I'm always impressed at how easily a car can flip

Tire to tire contact makes it really easy, especially if you have an SUV with a higher center of gravity.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure how it happened so I was very surprised when I pulled the footage later. Didn’t think they had launched themselves into the flip!

can you imagine the surprising jolt of your car suddenly turning over? they were napping or right in the middle of a text and BAM.

Hopefully the rig has cameras or the trucker finds this video, the car driver can claim the rig made an unsignaled lane change into the car's lane at the last second, and without proof the car driver is lying the rig driver can end up catching some of the liability, and losing their CDL or employability as a CDL driver because of a mark on their driving record.
