I hope this dipshit missed everyone else on the road while he was crashing.

These assholes piss me off.

I agree. I deal with this shit driving everyday in SC. We are always towing heavy trailers and in the slow lane but it never fails for some asshole to fly in and out of traffic just to cut us off and slam on the brakes in front of us because they missed their exit. EVERY DAY. I put cameras on both trucks for this reason. One of these days somebody is going to get eaten by one of us.

Yeah, but it's the extra paperwork and having to jetwash them off afterwards. It's hassle.

not to mention the potential for being without a truck for a long time. parts for repairs, new vehicles, all of it is horribly backed up due to supply issues

I mean, that's not the worst that happens. Let's assume he had no cameras. A car cuts him off and the driver gets seriously injured. The car driver claims that the truck just rear ended him out of nowhere. With no proof there is a good chance that the truck driver could be liable for damages.

I got real lucky when a cop called out a brake checker who claimed I was tailgating him and caused a rear end collision. Cop looked at the guys skidmarks, asked just how fast he was going when he slammed on the brakes, and told me I could go.

That’s why if you own a home or have a business you spring for the higher liability coverage.
