Dash Cam Owners Australia - What Truck drivers put up with daily

Tip: if you miss your exit, just carry on

Let's take our hats off for those people who manage to crash into the only other person on the outback road for the next 50 kilometres

I appreciate y'all kept the cut at 5:00 as long as you did, to show the overtaking lane that opened up not half a km down the road from where they almost killed themselves to get past. It really highlights the absurdity.

That last truck driver is more than a hero. He is the soul of the road. He saved several lives that day. I salute you mate ❤️

To be fair, trucks are super quiet, smaller than a road bike and very difficult to notice.

How can you not see a fucking TRUCK ?

The old man at the end recognizing the potential deadly accident turned his truck into the field and saved both vehicles from being torn open. That's a good man right there. Good Man.

That last trucker Is a absolute legend, to be able to see all that happing and kept everyone safe and got a beast of a thing off the road in time, legend

The last driver is a hero. Split second reaction, put his own life at risk to save others.

Last guy did a heroic job.

When learning to drive in the country, Mum taught all of us that even if there's plenty of room in the traffic to turn onto a road, if there's a truck coming, you wait for it to pass, as there's no guarantee there'll be time for it to slow down or you to get up to speed before it reaches you.

Thank you to all you truckies out there. You do a great job delivering all goods throughout Australia. Especially through this Covid crisis.. Thank you... Take care and be safe on the roads.. 😘😘

Some of these truck drivers genuinely saved lives superb driving !

Drivers who try to make the exit at the last second are the worst. High risk, low reward. It doesn't make any sense.

The truck driver at 2:06 has made a number of mistakes here before the start of the accident: - He started overtaking another truck on the left (which in this case also boxed him in) - He allowed himself to get very close to the car in front of him - All this with poor visibility and a wet road surface I don't know exactly why the car in front slowed down but in a sense, it doesn't matter, he only slowed slightly. It might have been brake checking as some have suggested or it might have been that one of the common bits of advice for being tailgated is to gradually slow down to make the tailgater back off. The car might also have seen something ahead of concern. Overall, almost entirely the truck drivers fault.

1:29 imagine using this as a weapon

There's something oddly hilarious about a truck driver nearly totalling his vehicle with 'Teenage Dream' by Katy Perry raging in the background.

Last guy is a hero - saved at least three lives.

I was in the Darwin to Adelaide World Solar Challenge a few times and our solar car and support vehicles were regularly overtaken by A triples. When they came up behind we called him/her on the VHF when safe to overtake, pulled as far left as we could without going on the gravel, they came past, we told the driver when they were clear and they pulled back in giving a left-right-left flash. 3010 km each time and never a problem.

I love the guy at 1:20 with his ‘well done!’
