Dash cam saves my career

[@michaelscott6216]

Who else thought they were moving the whole time at first?

[@richybearpaw9531]

Not me... but then I spent half my life on the road and notice stuff like that! ;)

[@chrisogrady28]

Richy BearPaw all hail

[@lulascsgo9041]

Michael Scott i did.

[@mosk11tto]

The lane on the left was like wobbling so that's why I thought they were moving

[@richybearpaw9531]

+Christopher O'Grady - LOL

[@Johnnymushio]

The dash cam saved you. But the real hero was the white road marker. This is really trippy to watch without it.

[@yuGtahT]

This is some optical illusion shit...

[@fankpop3892]

hahhahahah right!

[@caseycappoen251]

Right ??!

[@fankpop3892]

Casey Cappoen It looks like it but when you look closely it isn't

[@caseycappoen251]

I watched it again and saw the white line.

[@IncognitoSprax]

Shit thought they were driving the entire time until somebody pointed out the white lines. So focused on the truck.

[@allwinds3786]

I like the drive cam

[@DigitaL_SouLx]

The comment I was looking for! Thanks

[@AzNightmare]

*That dash white lane saved your career. If it weren't for that, I couldn't even tell the trucks were at a stop.*

[@kallianz]

Trash dashcam makes it look like they are in constant motion. Still, better than nothing.

[@ToastedTurtleOnRye]

Kalli trash dash cam.... I'm pretty sure it's just pouring fucking gallons outside here.

[@nonyobussiness3440]

AzNightmare agreed I had to watch it 3 times. The rain makes it look like you are moving.

[@arjunrajan9374]

The whole time i was wondering why he was tailgating in this weather. Lmao😂

[@Enchantedvisons]

[@robertbertram5158]

I swear i was thinking the same shit.

[@theplatdream26]

They're not moving...

[@halomaster2137]

Arjun R they were not moving a single inch the whole time

[@DylanTaylor]

first time I watched i was like "uhh wtf bro why didn't you just stop?" Second time I watched I looked at the lines on the road.

[@Dealwithit_yo]

daaamn! I thought they're moving like 50 mph

[@tessarix]

Ha ha ha ha, me too! I watched it a few times trying to figure out how it saved your career, dude, but didn't get it at first. Great fun video.

[@hifly78]

Wow. Optical illusion. He backed into you. With the rain and wind looked like you were moving but dead stopped.

[@spiritkiller9112]

Dylan Taylor same omg

[@ajsalem2005]

SAME! looked like they were FLYING with that wind and rain lol, had to watch it twice to notice the lines on the road not moving.

[@sef2273]

Label this the best driving illusion ever

[@ThePandaBeat]

indeed, at first i thought they were all driving

[@camprandy]

lol yep right on spot. I had to re-watch this video. lol.

[@Len_M.]

Brian Patton No doubt.

[@BigRedTower]

Agreed. I was yelling, "Stop, you idiot!" on my first viewing.

[@mohammadalikarimi8055]

Brian Patton it really is.

[@EmoKillla]

That wind is really a mind fuck. I was convinced there was forward motion the entire video until I 'rewound' and paid attention to the white lines.

[@HighwayStuff]

IKR me too. Had to watch it again.

[@morganburki1590]

Haha me too! 😂😂

[@thchronicmessiah5209]

EmoKillla took me cupple times to figure it out too bro, im 15 beers deep too so that aint helpin

[@riffraffy13]

EmoKillla I also was thinking what the hell is he talking about he push that guy for a long time , then I thought maybe they got stuck by bumpers and he's pulling him until I read your post and looked at the white line.

[@Fartdemon]

I think that is what is causing people a lot of confusion in the comments

[@JustinY.]

The truck isn't moving? This is a next level illusion

[@ilyasnlcool306]

[@shaseasam5815]

You can see by the road line

[@dkoykoala1488]

dude the rain just fucks with your eyes, there was so much movement! then i noticed the white line not moving at the bottom. loved it.

[@IncognitoSprax]

Didn't even notice until this comment. Thought they were still moving.

[@decidueye4755]

[@ms.artichokecheesepizzawst3239]

Wait . He wasn't driving ????

[@eviljef]

I had to rewatch the video after reading this comment!

[@AmericanHandgunner44]

I had to rewatch to look at the white lines to make it obvious that you were stationary. It honestly looked like you were both still moving while touching bumpers.

[@kelanjames2645]

Nathan Mueller Shit 😂 I was confused till I read this lol

[@JustinWingate76]

Nathan Mueller Same here. It's a pretty cool optical illusion!

[@shanem7998]

Nathan Mueller Holy shit, I didn't even realize they weren't moving the whole time

[@Makrelacz]

Yeah thanks god for that white line. Appart from it there is not a single thing which look stationary.

[@yendak]

First I thought: Why is he getting closer and closer to the guy in front of him? Then I read the comments, watched the street markings and noticed that the guy in front of him reversed?!

[@sarthakkhandelwal886]

[@jbouchard4877]

I didn't even look at the lines the first time I watched it. I thought they were rolling along. Lol

[@goldy6173]

[@johnmagill3072]

Me three

[@OutlawEST1987]

J Bouchard thought he was trying to stop a run away tractor trailer lol

[@oaka5639]

I did watch at the lines the whole time but that storm confused me a lot

[@Uberragen21]

*edit* I watched the lines and it first appeared the truck filming was still moving forward when the lines went out of frame. Upon further review, the truck in front was indeed rolling backwards as the lane divider to the left was not moving. Good catch Internet detectives.

[@Goosinator420]

I thought you were driving the whole time

[@sigmatic__]

The reason, I believe, this footage seems so unclear is because the rain water is distorting the lines on the ground and our minds are naturally assuming movement due to the sudden change in movement and the surrounding cars

[@walmarthoodies9647]

Paradox You don't say eh?

[@JohnJohnson-ps1tz]

Thanks for that information Captain Obvious.

[@ChroniclesOfFastCool]

I thought the windscreen wipers were moving at the resonant frequency of the tarmac causing it to shift giving the illusion of movement

[@crypticcell5630]

No such thing i'm afraid.. you're just slow

[@DeSousm]

Science..

[@global001]

Actually its very visually deceptive, the moving traffic, sweeping rain, lack of reverse lights & obscured view makes it look like you're still moving forwards but the road markings are stationary around your vehicle once you stopped .

[@elishamarie81]

Great comment! Thanks for pointing that out.

[@J450b]

global001 - just focus on the lane markings. It makes everything obvious.

[@global001]

Jacob Abel Obviously you didn't bother to read my comment before posting 'but the road markings are stationary around your vehicle once you stopped .'

[@J450b]

global001 Hahah, I actually read it like three times... it's just been one of those days. (haha finals :P ) My bad!

[@varok1206]

global001 watch the video again. the trucks motion can be best interpreted when comparing the truck & trailer to the NON MOVING white paint road markers.

[@MyRealName]

This video completely fucked up my brain. Brilliant!

[@spete7499]

yeah that fucking wind makes it look like they are moving wtff LOL

[@guy3480]

whoa that's trippy i thought they were moving. This video makes a lot more sense now

[@ItsTheGhettoFRESH]

LMAO i didnt even notice until i saw your comment

[@curiouslook9115]

all motion is relative, thats part of the problem. Just looking at the white lines and the truck ahead shouldn't be able to determine the movement of the truck.

[@curiouslook9115]

also i think the forward moving effect is caused by the wind and rain.

[@jameswalley134]

The first 3 times I watched it I was sure you rammed that guy's rear end ... but when I read your comment about watching the Lane dashed lines, I saw it for what it really was. One hell of a camera optical illusion. Take care buddy !!!

[@lobster9959]

so u watched the video 3 times before deciding to look at the comment section? shit, maybe i should try that some time...

[@mikenodine6713]

The blowing rail gives the illusion of forward motion. But the vertical dark stains on the concrete median clearly show the rear truck was completely stopped and was backed into. Without those black vertical stains on the median wall, I would have sworn the rear truck was still moving forward.

[@lukerazonski9598]

This is one of the best (not on purpose) optical illusions I've ever seen

[@SugarShaneS]

Had to watch twice . With the way the wind is whipping the rain towards you and the other vehicles going by it looks like your moving forward the whole time. But if you look at the white line in the road you can tell you were stationary .

[@PerryCS2]

thats what I did also....

[@josemigueljr]

i did the same exact thing and i was going comment the same thing too till i saw your comment. heres a like for you

[@eTheBlack]

or were white lines moving with them? Mindblown

[@CzlowiekLasu1989]

omg i was thinking the truck with camera hits the truck in front and keeps pushing him... great illusion

[@annabellelubouski9438]

[@3322-t8r]

Same!

[@visibleconfusion9894]

WAIT THE TRUCK ISN'T MOVING?????????

[@lobster9959]

no, the man was constantly raping the back of his vehicle the whole time...

[@stridsvagn1039]

3rd time i see you this week

[@JoePJack1]

Watch the line next to the fender mirror. Both trucks are stationary until the front one rolls backwards

[@Rob...]

good eyes, i couldn't tell what was going on with that rain!

[@KremitDeFrog]

wish more people caught this... I had to watch a few times before I saw the white dash never moved... at first I was watching the median and yellow line, which looked to be moving thanks to the motion of the wiper blades...

[@dianegreen6513]

Thank you, for pointing that out. I couldn't make heads or tails of it. To me it looked like they were both moving.

[@SJ-hw2we]

JoePJack1 It looked like it was a following distance issue, watched again and clearly the guy rolled back into you.

[@MCSilver]

JoePJack1 rear view mirror hard to see, better to check out the middle lane markers. Easier to see they were stopped before front trucked slid back. Good vid. Thx for sharing.

[@Maverick5588]

for the people who are confused watch from 0:20 to 0:30 you can see that the truck with the dashcam stops moving because the white lane markers stop. despite this the truck in front gets closer. the only logical explanation for this is that the truck in front reversed into him. that or the road itself shrank like a spring lmao. I got confused the first time myself as well though

[@ONTHEEDGEFRED]

Apparently a lot of people thought the same thing, I thought too that you were still rolling when he backed into you. Yep, dash cam saves the day.

[@Grumpy_And_Zoe]

When I started watching the video, It looked like, due to the blowing rain, that the both of you were still moving and you were riding his bumper.

[@TheMrvidfreak]

Whoa! I watched the video twice wondering, what on earth the description is talking about. Then I read your comment and thought you were sarcastically pointing out the fact that he simply rear-ended the other truck. Going back to the video for a third time I concentrated on the road markings and my brain bent.

[@charles125]

TJ Day Yea its really trippy, I was thinking that this dude was crazy for thinking he didn't bump him

[@metatechnologist]

People need to watch the road markings!! Some guy wanted to commit insurance fraud. He needs to be sent to jail!!

[@joeldusart397]

TJ Day i

[@Armygirlsdad]

Metatech, I know your comment is a year old but I just wanted to say I think the driver in front was just a bit inattentive. He didn't have his foot brake applied hard enough and he didn't set his parking brake. He just accidentally slowly rolled back. It happens.

[@hahahaha-oi2jm]

i cant be the only one that thought that u slowly bumped into the back of him!?

[@joshdeland3664]

Watch again, and pay attention to the white dashed line on the road. You'll see that it doesn't move, meaning that they were both stationary, meaning that the truck rolled back into him.

[@larbi-dx8zr]

that some genuis level there

[@Smockotron]

Fully stopped at 0:25 wow what a storm!

[@benjammin5055]

Look at the white road line on the bottom left of screen. It doesn't move at all. The video looks deceiving without referencing that point.

[@OblivionRR]

They are stationary. That's why. The fog makes it look like they're moving.

[@__Ryan_]

yes it does...it got me at first then i looked at the dotted line on the road

[@orscrub3161]

WOW! I too thought you were still moving! Everybody should have a dash cam!

[@ThePC007]

In Germany, you can't use a dashcam in court, so it's pointless here. (They are considering to change that law, though.)

[@MeldinX2]

LOL what? Why? If it shows what happened without a doubt you can't use that as evidence and you will then get jailed? Even though the cam shows that you are innocent? How does that make any sense?

[@ThePC007]

@MeldinX2: The reason is privacy. You don't wanna violate the privacy of the person who's actually guilty, do you? Think of all the poor insurance scammers whose privacy would be at risk if it wasn't for this law! No really, I'm happy that they are thinking about changing it. It's ridiculous to not be allowed to prove your innocence in court, as if the entire "guilty until proven innocent" thing wasn't bad enough already.

[@MeldinX2]

Yeah i hope they do change it because that sounds ridiculous.

[@hypelock1474]

+ThePC007 I thought it was innocent until proven guilty fam? Sorta like how a cop can bring you in for suspicion but if they don't get anything within 48hours they have to let you go and they can't hold you again unless new evidence appears. It falls under a sub of habius corpus I believe which states you cannot try the same person twice for the same crime.

[@Spiderman84-q6h]

Since it's 2022 maybe you could get a new dash cam with audio, I'm sure you were very vocal, would've been nice to hear what you were saying... But yes just like everyone said, the rain made it look super trippy, glad you had your dash cam

[@RC-nj1by]

Protip for anyone who can't figure it out....watch the white road lines, don't be fooled by the wind and rain.

[@MarksTech]

lmao!!! I thought they were driving the whole time, until I noticed the lane spitters in one place, then I was like what the heck lmao

[@mygripe]

I was actually getting pissed off thinking you were following closely in that weather..saw the comments and had to re-watch. Crazy video

[@rovege6701]

[@daltongarrett3393]

[@pyro3rg]

YOO! HOLY SHIT!

[@davebrock4463]

With the wind and rain blowing so hard it looked like you where still moving. It wasn't only until I looked at the center lines I actually saw what happened. Crazy!

[@jawkneeG]

Dave Brock yeah man exact same thing just happened to me lol

[@JohnSmith-jr5ly]

Me too. Had to re-watch it

[@noobeenaut]

Dave Brock same here lol

[@bruhdotgov4284]

at first i was like "dude you obviously rear ended him, anyone with half a brain can see you two were driving and you just bumped into his butt" and then i realized you two were both stopped and he backed into you

[@uncletacosupreme7023]

No doubt. I thought he was stuck on his rear bumper while they were moving.

[@tigerqueen1112]

Shit i didn't even catch that

[@24preacherboy]

just a thought.....if he had not backed into me would it not be reasonable to assume he would have developed enough speed going backwards to drift his trailer into another lane and back over a car? Could be my truck saved someone's life.

[@op3l]

Shoot yea. Just think of it as potentially saving the life of another person!

[@428ggg]

Leroy Hogwash dumbass reckless driver you are.

[@op3l]

Curious as to how he was a reckless driver. Care to explain?

[@ErkiDM1997]

Leroy Hogwash oh he is backing up, didnt see that the first time.

[@shayearl2369]

Leroy Hogwash omg just noticed. he rolled backwards into your truck. wtc

[@signupisannoying]

I think it wouldn't be fair if the front truck driver who lied simply ended up loosing his job and moving on to another one. It should be recorded somewhere that he tried to purposely frame an innocent person.

[@sofakingonmynuts1438]

you are thinking of a felony

Damn son, chill with the penalties.

[@samsteel2643]

[@bbigrocker1]

Isn't it a damn shame how quickly people will lie when they screw up in traffic? I'm glad you had you cam and nailed that lying POS

[@lesleyoneil5592]

+bbigrocker1 Oh yes! I had it happen to me once, pre digital camera days. Someone pulled into the passenger side of me and said it was the opposite. Wish I'd had a dash cam then! There was a city bus stopper for passengers right ahead of him, and he was pulling left to go around it, without shoulder checking. Lied like a trouper. My policy had to share the damage to his vehicle; mine was bigger and had only a small scrape but his fender crumpled.

[@bbigrocker1]

Lesley O'Neil I feel you, you never know how these things will get written without definitive evidence to show what REALLY happened. It sucks your policy had to pony up for the stupidity of someone else

[@bbigrocker1]

LucasAndAGuitar isn't it past your bedtime little boy? Now run along, ADULTS are talking

[@titaniumovaries8556]

OMG, I never noticed the lines on the road. He was dead still when that truck rolled back into him.

[@fishgutz4272]

Wind so strong the driver in front didn't realize he was being pushed backwards?

[@Henchman1977]

I had to watch it twice.... Looked like you rolled into him first time around. Crazy.

[@Interknetz]

Same. I thought they were going normal speeds and the dashcam driver kept his speed while the other slowly reduced it and wasn't paying attention to brake. Damn rain.

[@richybearpaw9531]

LOL you two! Could you not see that the broken, white, lane marker lines were not moving? In other words, the trucks were not moving at all. I noticed it anyway! ;)

[@Interknetz]

Yeah I wasn't paying attention to the line at all, and had to watch the video twice to realise that they were at a stand still when it happened. Pretty deceptive video unless you look at the lines the first time :P

[@xenulives717]

LOLOLOL i too was about to say "quit fucking tailgating" and call you out for being a bad truck driver. That wind is such a mindfuck!

[@warman1944]

I DID realize the trucks were stationary (about 30 seconds in), but even then I was wondering "OK, so why did he suddenly pull forward?" Lol I had to rewind to realize that it was the other guy backing up. Like, why did he even do that? I'm not a trucker, so idk if this was an understandable (if negligent) mistake or just total dumbassery.

[@SY2932]

After over a year driving my company truck in Cleveland, OH I had a near miss with an idiot a week ago that made me make up my mind about getting a dashcam. I work for a fortune 500 company and vehicle accidents are a BIG deal. So much so, that they installed GPS in all our trucks to monitor our driving. The idiot in question did not appreciate me doing the speed limit. After riding my bumper for a mile and laying on his horn for about half a minute, when we passed a speed limit sign I pointed to it and he responded by giving be the bird. Eventually, he passed me in the turning lane up the road and cut me off almost hitting me. If he would have hit me, a dashcam would have made all the difference... It was so damn windy in your video, I couldn't tell that you were even stopped. Good thing the white stripe was visible and wasn't moving so it was obvious that you weren't moving. Stay safe out there!

[@Milesco]

I seriously question those company policies that require their drivers not to exceed the speed limit by any amount, however small, and without regard to what everyone else is doing. It's actually more dangerous to stick to the speed limit when everyone is going 10 mpg faster. _________________________ Edit: That should, of course, read "10 mph faster."

[@spikeblack6245]

Captain Quirk I'm sorry but my truck goes 20mpg how would i make it go 30mpg to keep up with everyone else?

[@Milesco]

@ Spike: Heh heh -- oops....that was supposed to be "10 mph faster". A rare mistake for the ol' Captain. ;-) (In my defense, the "g" and "h" keys are right next to each other, and "mpg" is not a misspelled word and therefore doesn't alert my computer's spellcheck function.)

[@spikeblack6245]

Captain Quirk i saw that and couldn't resist the chance to run with it. But your not the first person i have seen on car videos to put mpg instead of mph.

[@dannydaw59]

You were nearly hit so wouldn't that be called a "near hit"?

[@robinlinton0]

This would be considered an optical illusion to those that are lacking common sense. You can blame the rain, wiper blades and the vehicles still traveling. See, the truck WAS moving but then, it stopped. That's when the truck in front rolled back and the white lines? Well, they were stopped ALSO, when the truck was rolling backwards. I had to watch it twice because of all the conflicting comments, but its all there, and it also looked like the driver in the front didn't know he'd done anything.

[@Kartracer6]

I had to watch it twice too....that really threw me off

[@johan.ohgren]

Robin L if I hadn't seen this comment I never would have noticed.

[@lubu4u312]

It tricks you if you aren't looking for it. Don't think this has anything to do with common sense though??

[@SteelOfLegend]

Yeah, it took me a minute to realize they were no longer moving. Had to play it back also. I blame the initial driving in the beginning causing that sense of movement still taking place. lol

[@Anonymous--Troll]

This took me 3 times to see but follow the white lane marks to the left, you can see at 0:23 he stops at that one. My brain almost clocked out for the day before I saw it

[@CrazyRoadblockisbae]

Who else found this in their recommended list?

[@nickspaulding1511]

Yea really lame video

[@metatechnologist]

I did not find this video lame. It was a good recommend for me. As someone who put a dashcam in his own car I plan on making a video of all the clowns I have caught on video driving poorly. I really feel like all the downvotes are coming from people who must believe in insurance fraud.

I dont think he knew he was backing up.

It was hard to indeed tell with all that rain and that storm but, glad you were able to save yourself by having one. They really are helpful.

[@jmowreader9555]

You got an interstate freeway close to you? Go out and try it sometime.

[@ln2596]

jmowreader nope j mo we don't,never been on one.

[@jmowreader9555]

In the US, truck drivers are trained to use the "lane of least resistance" - the lane that will interfere with car traffic the least. On this road, the far-left lane is the "fast lane." Car drivers are going to be traveling 10 to 20 mph (16 km/hr to 32 km/hr) faster than a truck will go, and if you're out there it will piss them off. The far-right lane is the lane the on-ramps and off-ramps are connected to; the people trying to get on and off the freeway don't want to have to deal with your truck. So, you ride in the middle lane and leave the fast lane and the on/off ramp lane to the car drivers. If this was a steep hill, there would be a "truck lane" all the way to the right - they'll build a separate lane just for trucks. It's not common to put exits on big hills, and the truck lane lets the drivers go up the hill as slowly as they're going to anyway. Your question was quite logical: why would they be in the center lane? But as with everything, there's a reason for it.

[@bigphil815]

Looks like the guy in front was in neutral and just rolled back

[@WifeBTR123]

Once u have one, driving without a dash cam makes u feel naked.

[@lesleyoneil5592]

+ WifeBTR123 So true!

[@Lokey_8664]

Watch the white lane marker line. first truck rolled back into second truck. first truck at fault, If he's claiming He was rear ended he's a liar. Case close.

[@jerrybobteasdale]

And why are 2 semi's stopping in the center lane of a 3-lane hiway?

[@markperry2827]

Duke Makedo exactly.

[@jerrybobteasdale]

So you stop a semi in the center lane, while visibility is poor? At least get in the right lane.

[@badvermin]

The right lane was closed due to an accident. You can see the lights.

[@stephenray95]

badvermin I don't see anything like that...

[@badvermin]

You can see the warning lights flashing at the very end of the video.

[@24preacherboy]

Please give the video a thumbs up to anger all the idiots who think this was my fault. Lets make America great again. Watch the counter.......

[@24preacherboy]

Alan d I thought about that but that's kinda the magic of this video......to show things are not as they seem. I would hope when a person realized they are wrong they would pull down the thumbs down....but it really isn't that important to me.

[@z400racerr910]

Did people really blame you? This is whats wrong with people now a days. They are the most oblivious people known to date. They need to have it pointed out to them than the truck is stationary and rolling backwards. In a world where we give someone in last place a trophy the same as 1st place is the reason we get idiots like this hatin on a guy who did nothing wrong.

[@mannydcbianco]

TwoFourtysx Silvia It really is a sad state of affairs nowadays. I can't tell you how many times I have watched dashcam crash videos and one vehicle is clearly, beyond all doubt, obviously, 100% at fault and the other vehicle is 100% innocent, a victim. And still at least a third of all comments will target the victim and make up weird fucking arguments why the victim was somehow at fault. I wish people were just trolling, but I honestly don't think they are. I think they are simply completely clueless.

[@SkashTheKitsune]

yes, let's make america great again by deporting all non native american truck drivers

[@Everythingwentblack69]

Leroy Hogwash why was he backing up in the first place?

[@deepsquat600]

I think people are saying you are following too close.. because they cant tell the guy is backing up ..they dont see the white line to the drivers left is NOT moving ..with all the snow/ mist ..it is disorienting

[@heros2110]

it is not. open your eyes and look. how blind can one be not to see that the white line isn't moving at all. Take the side mirror as a mark.

[@deepsquat600]

heros2110 thats what I mean they are not doing that ..also ..the camera is NOT an eye..it gives a different perspective to motion and range

[@tryithere]

Disorienting??? I'm not even Asian.

[@deepsquat600]

tryithere that politically incorrect ,, for some reason you cant say oriental ,,, its asian ,,so ,,,disasianing>>>>????? :)

[@Izzy8u]

Lmao, other truck backed up into you! I only know from reading the comments that mentioned to keep an eye on the white dashed lines. Dash cam saves another day! Saves a career!!

[@DevinShillingtonSkateboarding]

this video really messed with me. At first I thought you had actually run into the guy, then I watched it again and noticed the white line. Glad this saved your career.

[@jumborat99]

This video has screwed with my head. Looks like it has confused a lot of people too 😂. Thank God for the white line below the mirror. Great illusion.

[@heitor479]

The fact is that they're so fast that the camera fps couldn't capture the white lines moving. Same effect of backwards wheels on high speeds.

[@heitor479]

just kidding

[@MrSethHikari]

if that white line wasnt there behind your mirror, i wouldnt be able to tell

[@andrewdeighton5926]

my workmate was rear-ended and the driver admitted it at the scene, 3 months later the other driver decided to say he had been reversed into at speed

[@eligebrown8998]

Andrew Deighton i saw the video and the truck with the camera was backed into

[@lesleyoneil5592]

+elige brown He was talking about his own accident, not this one in the video.

[@MissionaryInMexico]

Having 4 million miles of driving under my belt in my entire lifetime, I knew immediately all that had happened. ●Storm, 50 mph+ winds. ●Traffic ahead stopped. ●Truck did NOT move, saw lines on road holding still. ●Trucker ahead took his foot off brake, coasted backwards into truck, propelled by strong winds. ●Ouch.

[@blumac9801]

Ohh and I thought you guys we’re moving, what an epic illusion

[@24preacherboy]

Blumac5 please share,!

[@station08]

they were barley rolling. and stopped . That driver in front had the problem for sure. So stop bad mouthing this guy and take the point of the video. Get a Dash Cam. it will save your ass , especially when dealing with an officer who thinks he knows what happened, when the physical evidence is only half the truth.

[@adityasalunkhe8156]

first i was thinking why is this guy tailgating?, then i realised the other truck backed into him, *relative motion* thank you strip on the road for solving this illusion.

[@WestCoastPicks]

Good thing for dashcams. Sad world we live in. You shouldn't have said anything about the camera and let him lie. It would have been 10 times worse for him.

[@a64738]

The truck driver most likely did not see he was rolling backwards because he was disoriented in the snow. If you don`t look at the white line on the road it looks like the car is the one driving into the truck because of the snow in the wind.

[@moonscar119]

snow? car? what video did you watch?

[@Mr_LH1980]

I did exactly that when I was knocked off my motorbike. She lied through her teeth as I was being carried away in an ambulance. I let her continue to lie for a month to my insurance company. My solicitors then presented her with the video. She suddenly rolled over.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

Jeez what's with all the wind it looks like you're going 60mph when you're actually not moving

[@gojofo]

JoeyLovesTrains I know, I watched it the first time thinking that was so weird… It's the cammer's fault. It wasn't until I was focused on the lane markings that I saw that they weren't even moving

[@hsvxu6suzukihatch959]

JoeyLovesTrains b

[@bridgieoh9326]

Mind blown. That rain provided an awesome optical illusion.

[@willalexander177]

I thought they were driving the whole time

[@JodianGaming]

When I first watched the video I was kind of screwed up by the rain. It looked like you were both moving at a pretty fast pace, with you going a little faster, into the back of him. Watching it a second time and paying attention to the road markings showed a completely different story. You're right, he stopped and then backed into you... Good job catching that on video man!

[@robertemmons2260]

After seeing how close the two were together my first instinct was to look at the highway lines, and sure enough you were stopped while the dingle berry in front of you had backed into you.

[@KremitDeFrog]

Wow, I had to watch this a few times to see the ordeal.. look closely at the lane dashes and you can see what's really going on; use the dash closest to the camera (on the left) for the driver with the camera (possibly Leroy Hogwash?) and use the dash on the right side of the leading rig for a point of reference for the trailer...

[@ziiofswe]

I think it's youtube's crappy stabilization filter that's fscking things up so it looks even more awful than it'd have to.

[@KremitDeFrog]

ziiofswe lmao, I used that for one of my videos.. figured it was shot w/ a phone, so sure, let's stabilize it... looks like it was stabilized by someone with parkinsons..

[@billknoop8185]

the wind might have push him back but why did he stopped on the interstate in the first place? You are lucky you have that on video.

[@jdstaggers8805]

Glad i read the comments. Kept thinking why are you getting closer. Crazy video

[@TheEdisse]

wow, at first i did not look at the road so i kept asking myself why you were following so close and then i thought maybe you were sliding and then i noticed you weren't moving and it was the weather blasting through that makes it so deceiving. Great video!

[@Milesco]

Yeah, it confused me, too.

[@kalleager4839]

Didn't even see the traffic stopped. That's some trippy snow man!

[@24preacherboy]

Kalle Äger it was a thunderstorm.

[@kalleager4839]

Even more trippy :D

[@JoshGerhards]

I was thinking, Dude, slow down, you're going to hit him!

[@realcomputerdude100]

I felt like I was getting high looking at this. But damn, that sucks, man. Good thing the trooper saw the lines (unlike most of the folk here...)

[@Buckshotshoey00]

Yea...Sometimes I dont know how the human race has made it this far.

[@bestbomb17]

it was hard to tell at first till I looked at the white line on the road

[@MONSTERkillNOT]

agree

[@def__init]

I feel slightly nauseous my brain can't comprehend they're not moving the entire time.
