long island expresssway ny sideswipe

lie sideswipe ny long island, may 8 2008.
tractor trailor trucks speed and pass on the inside lane, always causing crashes.
in this video the black tractor trailer at 53 seconds pulls out into the van, almost a crash. not as evidedt on video , but i saw the van fishtail when braking to avoid being hit.
couple seconds later at exit 39 glen cove exit a brand new mazda sentra with dealor plates 8143553 try to make the exit, at 1:46 luckily it looks like only the sentras right side mirror clipped, i saw some flying debris and glass from the mazda. i was wondering if the Guy was out for a test drive?

too bad , you drive unsafely , your information and video is going to be all over the internet, including inattentive reckless driving.

people don't want their reckless driving driving documented, drive safely and responsibly.

video camera are now under 150 that will document everthing, place it on the dash, and that all that needs to be done.

The inattention of the black Nissan is as follows..whether changing from right to left lanes or left to right a clear path is needed to make the switch. There was none. Reasoning being he exited too late from the CENTER lane..not the right lane adjacent to the off ramp which he should have been in prior to the exit he wanted to get off of. The truck was clearly in his path to cut over two lanes of travel which the truck was trying to avoid when the car miscalculated and drove into HIM!

What was this recorded with, a celery stick?

well that new car has gone to waste by an idiot driver driving it! i understand blind spot sidewipes but that kind of sideswipe is really stupid driving! maybe he did it on purpose as it looks like he wanted to cut off semi but semi did let him which is really understandable then at rear he clips it! only hurting his car! nice captures!

Notice at :53 the black tractor trailer had its left turn signal for middle lane change after the Stroeman bread truck cleared the lane..simutaneously while coming into the middle lane the van switches lanes with out signals and from a blind spot..of the truck..the van was traveling to close behind for the truck driver to even see the van..ur forgetting there is no windshield rear view mirror..the only view trucks have of traffic behind them is from side mirrors..the sentra was totally at fault

I agree with zepplinfan9000. Trucker drivers drive for a living and I trust them more than other passenger vehicles.

Sadly, most people, espeically in New York, have no respect for them. I've seen trucks try to merge forever and people just keep driving, ignoring the truck driver's request.

I let them merge and usually, some bozo starts honking his/her horn. I also give them the right of way. Get hit by one of those and you can kiss you car goodbye.

Umm, I have a tiny video recorder that is held in place by few 3M sticky velcro things, All I gotta do is press record before I start driving, and hit stop when I'm done.

Eject the SD card, place it into my laptop's port, and upload.

If the Nissan even got into an accident, it was the Nissan's fault, not the trucks fault. He made the decision way too late and should have got off at the next exit.

man dont bash truckers they are the ones who actually drive for a living and not as a hobbie as you do!
