I can only imagine the crap truckers see on the road. But one trucker doing this to another... Below is the description from the source:
"I was on the Ohio Turnpike in a storm when the guy in front of me stops and then rolls back into me. When the trooper shows up he says "you rear ended him?' I said lets watch the video! He calls the other driver over and all of a sudden he starts to get nervous. The trooper says to the other driver "looks like you were going backward". My dash cam saved my career.
Get one. You just a sitting duck with out it.
There are clowns out there that thing I was following too close even though I was stopped 50ft behind him before he started backing up......after only going about 10mph. Give a thumbs up if you think they are idiots. Take a look at the counter....lets make America great again."
TL;DR Trucker rolled backwards and hit another. Dashcam cleared him

I own my own small trucking company and its horrible how people treat truckers. It's weird to see another trucker do this.

I got a dash cam for my fiance and myself recently off amazon. It was on sale and each one was only $50 after buying the sd cards.
MrDirtyEars
Shouldn't you both be stopped on the shoulder?

I love it when karma slaps an idiot.
Billy2sweet
Why would he back up?
elhopaness
Insurance scam probably.

I thought it was realy fast but realize one truck wasnt moving... I must be tired.

"saves career" is a bit hyperbolic for a low speed incident with hardly any damage
pilojo
Truckers have severe consequences for even the smallest collisions. You definitely could lose your career for even tapping a bumper.

But hopefully the other driver was charged for making a false police report.
pablo1669
am I the only one who thinks "saves truckers career" is a bit over dramatic?

In a site were titles mattered it would be called clickbait. Here doesn't matter that much but still.

Why was he rolling backwards?
Trecares
Must have shifted to neutral and didnt notice he had started moving.
ElbowdeepinElmo
Next question: Why would he stop in the middle of a road?
iwantyoutothrowmeaway
The only way I could tell you were stopped was the white stripe in the middle. Otherwise it looks like you're moving.

Not op

Thanks for that makes it more obvious
Klingon00
Thank you. That was the point of reference I was looking for

@op can you recommend any one camera in particular? A review from an actual driver is worth more in my book.

You can go online and get a million references, but you choose to ask someone who probably just picked one at random.

Get dual channel so you are covered front and rear. I just put rexing v1lg in my and wife's car. Plus GPS logged video is great.

I got one on Amazon, watch for deals it got one for 50$ but you can find them cheaper

I have one called dashcam pro I got for like 35 bucks. Not great quality but loads of storage.

I downloaded Bitstream onto my phone. You can livestream your driving onto twitch or YouTube and have it recorded.

I have the garmin dash cam 35 and I love it. If you have other questions shoot me a message

”Blackvue” is a dashcam brand lots of youtubers use who upload dashcam videos.
discorage
Check out techmoan on YouTube. Good tech videos in general, and he reviews lots of dash cams.
SecretaryNotSure
I have Rexing V1’s in all of my vehicles. One got fried when my elec system went bad but still works. Picture is great on the others.
tinycutepolypan
This is not OC, so OP probably doesn't have one.
monsterram1500
Look up lukas dash cam. Its the best one in my book. Has everything you want in a cam.
HoleyNutSack
Costco is selling one . Looks good tbh
