Had a bad day 17/5/12 accident caught on roadhawk

I was in slow moving traffic on the M62 when an older woman joined from a slip and simply drove into me. Her rear o/s hitting my n/s front. She flopped onto the front of my truck and then spun out across the other two lanes taking out a car and a transit. She tried telling me it was my fault for not letting her on. I’d not even seen her down in the n/s blind spot.

I know I’m gonna get a load of stick for this but…

Old people and vehicles just do not mix.

Here endeth the lesson for today :smiley:

anyone know if any big fleets use, or have trialed them■■?

Bedfords have on board cameras in their newer trucks.

Ken.

Would that be the TL model? :laughing:

Had a car try shoving me out of my lane there, wasn’t too bad at impact, but when I braked the front of the truck dipped and broke the car.
She also tried blaming me, so I got the police out, who then took her round the roundabout and showed her the lanes, she then agreed to being at fault.

Definately an advert for a camera like the OP

Absolutely. If I return to the UK I’ll definetely be getting one.

Brilliant, ten points to you sir :laughing:

After the things i’ve seen the past few weeks and this thread my mind has been made up, ordered my new Roadhawk today and should be here sometime this week…

Even the missus agreed it was a good idea after coming to London with me yesterday !
