There's no excuse for this Hillcrest Transportation truck to be this close to the car in the left lane. Truckers often try to intimidate cars, by getting up on their bumper. In this video, the small car is 'camping out' in the fast lane, but that is no excuse for the Hillcrest truck to tailgate. If something happens, and it too often happens very quickly, there is no way the truck can avoid hitting the car. This trucker needs to learn some better, and safer habits, or he could end up in some serious trouble. If a tanker is loaded, you usually also have 'surge' to deal with, as the liquid cargo moves in the tank. Hit the brakes, the liquid moves. Depending on the density of the liquid, and how much empty space there is in the tank, the 'surge' can be fairly intense.
Back off, you stupid trucker!
This video is from an Ausdom AD118 Dash cam I have just started using. The AD118 on initial use and from first impressions, seems to be a nice dash cam, at a reasonable price.
I'll be using this cam in my truck for the next month or so, and posting more information about it, and videos.
