A118-C 1080p HD Dash Camera w/ Capacitor

This is a dashcam that looks promising to me. (Do I really need another one?)
A118 HD 1080p Car Dash Camera - $79.95
from: Spy Tec

The video is good, and it has some nice 'stealth' features. There is also an inexpensive GPS module available. This cam is better suited for a 'semi-permanent' installation, due to the use of sticky tape to mount it to the windshield. It's not impossible to move from car to car, but not as simple as using a suction cup mount. I do intend to try one of these out!
Check the details and reviews on this cam at SpyTec.

Larway truck #210 Inconsiderate jerk


Here is Larway truck #210.   Who decided it was OK to park backwards at a truck stop parking lot, blocking my truck, because he was in a hurry, and wanted to get a shower.

I was away from the truck for a few minutes when he parked this way.   If he had backed into the parking space, I would not have been blocked.

Selfish PIGS like this make trucking a more miserable profession than it needs to be.

Some drivers give lip service to 'brotherhood' and the 'knights of the  road' BS, but when they
think nobody is looking, they will screw over anybody in a heartbeat.

Thanks to dashcams, we can now expose some of these pigs!

Swift trying to back up Waterloo, IA 07-01-13

Yes, we all have to learn, sometimes, but this Swift driver was not having a good day. I found this situation more disturbing when the 'helper' walked under the trailer of the truck that was trying to back up. The 'helper' appeared to be a lease operator, who also had a toddler in the truck with him. The child was running around the truck staging area, playing 'hide and seek' under the parked trucks. These trucks were waiting to be called to a door to be unloaded, and may pull out at any moment.

Sorry about the bug splats on the windshield!

Oakley truck #3402 Can't stay in lane

Oakley isn't doing a good job staying in one lane. I'm not sure if he is texting, on the phone, or falling asleep? Note the Placards.
