Tailgating trucks #5

Venezia Truck #1287 Tailgating, I-85 in South Carolina 05-08-15

This video was made near Blacksburg, SC on I-85, heading north.   The Venezia truck tailgated the white car for as long as they were in my sight.   Truckers like this one can kill people.   Yes, cars drive this way, also, but the consequences of a big truck running into the back of you are usually much more deadly.   Slow down.   If you see a large truck driving like this, keep away from them, and try to contact the safety department at his company, with the truck and trailer number, or call the police.

It's no fun looking in the rear view mirror and only seeing the front grill of a large truck, a few feet behind you.   They tailgate other trucks, also, and if  you had a CB, you would hear what kind of moronic pig these drivers are.

Tailgating trucks compilation #3

A majority of motorists follow other vehicles too closely, but when a large truck does it, people can die or be seriously injured.  If you see a truck driving this way, try to give them some space.  They can kill you.
Reporting the driver to the company they work for doesn't always have much impact.
If the trucker is driving very dangerously, call the police, and give a truck description, direction, and any  other information that may identify the truck.
Of course, if you have a dashcam, you can save the video of the event, and post it online.
(Which seems to get the attention of the trucking companies, and the driver better than a phone call to the company.)

Tailgating trucks compilation #2

I run several dashcams in my truck.  When I see something 'interesting' I just make a note of the time, and check the cams later, and save the video.    TOO many trucks follow too closely, and drive aggressively.

This is a compilation of tailgating tractor trailers, caught on my dashcam. I see them every day, but don't always have the time to save the video. SLOW DOWN, and back off, you JERKS!
