@nominater1 Thanks for your comment, people wonder why truck drivers are angry.

[nominater1]

@mozebasic it been going on decades. it got to stop. vidoes on here and facebook will hopefully spread the word and people will wake up to themselves. (ive been sharing these on facebook) keep the videos coming and thanks for all the hard work u do stay safe :)

[mozebasic]

@nominater1 Its good to know people like you are helping to spread the word to keep our roads safer. Thanks for your help.

Yes how tragic this ie BUt how many of these were caused by dumb people in cars and cut in front of the trucks????????????????????????­????????

[mozebasic]

@bonzoAU Very true, you never hear that the car was at fault.

[pugnut403]

I drive buses and the amount of stupid things done by cars and pedestrians in front of me is staggering...

People just don't understand that a heavy vehicle can't stop or steer like a sports car and that gap in front of us is there as a safety buffer not so you can race into it then hit the anchors cos the light's gone red....

Also the sign saying "Do Not Overtake Turning Vehicle" is there for a reason!!!

[nominater1]

@fatjesus24 well hopefully safer roads if the car drivers also use thier common sense and stop causing half the accidents with thier selfishness and ignorance and impatience.

[nominater1]

@fatjesus234 um not all of them take drugs and if u knew that the big companies push them to beyond the limits eg they pick up a load in melbourne at 12pm and it has to be in qld by 9am the next day. Thats slowly changing though with compaines being heavily fined if they push the limits of the driver. I dont agree with them taking drugs it is a dangerous risk heavy machienery and drugs but try to look at the reason behind it all and be glad that the law is changing 4 em 4 safer rds

[fatjesus234]

@nominater1 ummm it's part of the job and they should of think of other's out there before taking so much drugs to just stay up!

i would never be a trucker... ever in my life!!

[georgetheguniea]

lots of truck crashes are caused by cars, cars dont look when idicating, go straight in front of a lorry and the lorrys is so high up it cant see the car and then the cars gets hit then the car crashes and the other cars may get in the crash.

Drive (and ride) for self preservation and that of others should be every road users motto. Maybe a car licence should only be issued when a person can drive a semi and ride a motorcycle so they can appreciate other motorists better. At the moment car drivers are taught to pass a test, not to show they can drive and understand the fundamentals of driving. This has change, the sooner the better.

very sobering...

[katieallegretta]

The only reason we have truck crashes like this is because people cut in front of truck without giving them room to brake. I have been a Truckie for 10 years and the amount of people who have cut in front of me causing me to slam on my brakes, they are so stupid. Maybe they should get into a truck and drive with a 20 tonne trailer on the back and see if they like it when someone cut them off. Fucken Dicks

[nominater1]

@williad43ca im not sure. but it sure pays to take care out there and appreciate how lucky we r. videos like this really hit home. ive been sharing them on facebook to get the message across

@nominater1 what is the name of the background music

As a truck driver travelling some of the most dangerous roads in Australia, generally it's not fellow truck drivers you have to worry about. Save for a handful of dickheads, we're generally helpful to each other and car drivers if you don't do anything stupid. We dread long weekends because it means city drivers are on the road, and it makes the job so much harder. Remember car drivers that a truck cannot turn,brake or accelerate like a Mini Cooper

[nominater1]

@mozebasic i was lucky that i wasnt involved in a smash when my dad use to take me in the truck. some truckies take thier kids sometimes so they can spend time with them. which is another thing car drivers need to think about there could be a kid in the truck.most of the car drivers would kids in ther car and still do stupid crap like cut a truck driver off or pull up beside them when they r trying to turn a corner

[nominater1]

@mozebasic im glad they have video cameras in thier trucks nowdays goes to prove that most of the truckies arent at fault. if only they had that when my dad was truck driving It is in his blood but the last smash he had his truck rolled and caught fire coz some dickhead cut him off. he lucky to be alive. he hasnt driven for about 20 yrs he still misses it! drivers need to use their common sense and stop being selfish. R,I.P to those decessed truckies.

@nominater1

look at the accident in campbelltown on the 25/1/12.

that was caused by a learner driver,

MY OPINION, LEARNERS SHOULD STAY OFF THE FREEWAYS/HIGHWAYS.

[hueysmyfavouriteCHEF]

there was another truck accident the other day (25/1/12) on the managle bridge in campbelltown. truck crossed the wrong side of the road, and hit a on comming car. but sadly,

the INNOCENT DRIVER AND THERE PASSENGERS, were killed on impacted, the 3rd sadly passed away later in hospital. now, what was the cause by this accident??? SURLY WASNT THE TRUCKIES FAULT, IT WAS CAUSED BY A LEARNER THAT HAD CUT THE TRUCK OFF, if you read above, (USER) bonzo has a point. how many dumb drivers cut trucks off

[nominater1]

@bonzoAU dont forget pulling up along side them while the truck trying to turn the corner or round about!! dickheads they r they(the car driver) shouldnt have thier licence they obviously dont have common sense

[nominater1]

cont... safe use common sense and be grateful for all they do!!
