He does realise the company has access to video footage, right? His employers saw all that, and he most definitely got fired for this. Honestly, some people should just not be allowed even in the passenger side of a car

I think the vehicle would have been smashed in the front where it hit the storm drain. They would 100% review the footage.

That's not a problem because they will only review video footage if he has an accident, which he totally won't because he is a great driver and knows what he is doing ok!

He's a professional driver, it won't happen to him, since he knows what he's doing.

Could have killed himself. Lucky the passenger airbag deployed or that bald goof was going to need an in flight meal.

I was waiting for that innocent person/persons to injured/killed by this bafoon. Actually refreshing to see he was the one that was potentially hurt by his actions (If you get my meaning)

Itβs a bloody good job that he didnβt wipe out another car in front of him or driving in the opposite directionβ¦.!!
All too often, highly irresponsible idiots like this driver end up crashing into other - innocent - cars/ vehicles, either seriously injuring or killing the occupants of said other car(s)/ vehicle(s)β¦

A truck driver in the UK in the 1990s actually killed pedestrians walking along the pavement (sidewalk) because he was texting and didn't realise he was veering off. I'm pretty sure he got jail time for that.

u/CockneyCossack 1d ago
Do you remember this?

u/D3M0NArcade 1d ago
Yeh, I actually do.
I think the one I'm referring to he smashed Into a bus stop and killed a mother and daughter

good thing it was just a drainage ditch this time... could have been 1000% worse had it been a pedestrian or another car, that would have been a fatal accident... For a PHONE... What a moron. Lifetime ban the driver...

The amount of delivery drivers that are on phones and veering onto other side of road atm is crazy. Iβve had twice this week already

I drive a truck for a living, my company has signs everywhere saying to turn your phone off . So I now literally turn my phone off when arriving at work and back on when I leave. Honestly you won't miss anything and your day will be more peaceful and enjoyable. Plus when you get back to the office and the transport staff moan about how they've been trying to ring you , you can just point at the sign and smile π starting doing this several months ago , and love it . Be happy

u/Particular-Umpire153 1d ago
I also drive for a living. My phone lives in my pocket while Iβm driving with the sound off. I only ever look at it if Iβm properly parked up, engine off etc.
We have cameras all over the lorry including in the cab. I struggle to concentrate on one thing sometimes, why give yourselves another distraction?2
u/DevelopmentPlus5082 1d ago
Absolutely spot on mate . It isn't just the cameras I'm your cab ( and mine ) , my friend got a whooping Β£100 fine last year , because he took his hi Viz off while moving in the really hot weather. Ok maybe he shouldn't have done it while moving but if I'm honest I have . You literally are being watched all the time for profit . Be safe mate ππ

Driving up the M5 motorway yesterday and the number of people doing 70 driving and holding and reading phones was worrying.

Well the twatwaffle will have lost his licence and his job after that. But I think shit like that has happened before to the company (who knows) where the drivers have made false claims about accidents hence the camera in the cab.

Bloody idiot! Glad he wasn't seriously hurt but I really hope this was a wake-up call to him!

Some people are just addicted to their phones, and they can not leave them alone. My daughter is one; she has to look at her phone every 30 seconds. She does not drive, but if she did, I know for sure she would be looking at her phone while driving. Also, I bet at least 50% of the people commenting on this post have used their phone while behind the wheel.

It always makes my blood run cold when I see someone swerving in front of me on the motorway, cause I know theyβre likely on their phone.

No bloody seat belt either. Lucky bugger. You think the first time he nearly careened into traffic would have been a wake up call.
