Dash cam captures truck driver's crash while texting
'Sometimes the best way to show the absolute absurdity of something is to watch a video of it' - Darren Maule.
I came across a video of a truck driver on his cellphone going down the dreaded Van Reenen's Pass, and as you'll see, it doesn’t end well.
The truck ends up crashing. However, it could have been a lot worse.
What makes this video even more absurd is that like today’s weather, it was raining heavily and the visibility was poor.
I cannot say it enough, don’t use your phones on the road!
Truck owners - take the time to educate your staff. I would like to assume that the driver of this truck knew he was being filmed as there is a camera on the truck's dashboard, and yet he still took the risk.
