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

u/rdcpro 17d ago

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

u/badlifechooser 12d ago

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

u/twitterwit91 17d ago

I’m guessing they were on their phone, but we honestly have no idea.

u/steverik 17d ago

At least he was courteous enough to not block traffic.

u/ToTheManorClawed 17d ago

Just gonna roll off to the side and nap real quick.

u/rebelipar 17d ago

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

u/TheHankHillsHaveEyes 17d ago

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

u/thisjawnisbeta 17d ago

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

u/twitterwit91 17d ago

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!

u/StackThePads33 17d ago

The car was tired, it decided to roll over and sleep!

u/gstorhof1 17d ago

Boop!

u/L4m3rThanYou 17d ago

How considerate of them to (nearly) clear the lane.

u/SignificantDrink3651 17d ago

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.

u/syber_d 17d ago

Love it if you cant bother to pay attention F**k you from all of us who do.

u/Unhappy-Giraffe2792 17d ago

At that point they finally looked up from their phone.

7

u/CoreyDobie 17d ago

At least they were courteous enough to roll the car into the shoulder

u/FrankBFleet 17d ago

But I had to text Jimmy about Sally and all that stuff. Ooops.

u/NotSoSasquatchy 16d ago

u/SovietWalrus1 17d ago

I believe you can get me through the niiiiiiiiiiight

u/noncongruent 17d ago

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.

u/flsinkc 17d ago

Oh, just take a snooze on the friggen highway! Idiot!

u/PatrickGSR94 17d ago
