i'm going to guess they were either texting or useing one of those roadmap apps while also having an app that records the last few seconds of vid on a looping basis

"why?

Why is he filming this? Does he record his life or every time he drives? "



some people have started putting cameras in their cars because in some cases, there have been abuse or basically racist/sexist/cops being dicks... tickets that have been given out. It's been used in courts to prove that a cop was abusing his rights, and or abusing the person driving the car for no reason... also they've been good for things like this, proving who would be at fault in an accident. if you can prove it by camera what better right?...

and to the guy who said "how would he explain it..."
show em the video, duh LOL

Fake

this is fake, when the trailer hits the piece of wood it doesnt even move, it would have rolled over it and when it hits the window its a 4"x4" piece of lumber the trailer would have hit that hard and on top of that the truck would of hit it first

Fake

The wood pole just 'appears' from the side and flies up. I doubt the drag from the truck in front could have done that.
Which would explain why it was being filmed.
Very nice FX, if it's fake, though.

Crazy bitch got what she deserved. She was following too close and distracted using a hand held cell phone camera trying to get two drivers ahead of her fired for dangerous driving.

Its not fake. People have died from reflectors coming loose and going through windshields. And the drag didn't whip the metal/wood up, the truck ran over it, which made it bounce up.

Stupidity of using a cell phone (camera or not) while one is driving aside, how would her NOT using one have prevented this?

Also you have a pretty strict definition of "following too close".

VERY Real

I had the same experiance with an Iron Bar support off of a Canadian truck(that would not stop or pull over after) in a construction "traffic shift" here in Michigan. Another 3-6 inches of altitude and i would have been dead. Still remeber the bar twirlling at me in"slo mo". effn Canadian drivers he diched back to CA as i called state police. I had to eat repair bill...

sure is basement dwelling neckbeard in here..

You inbreeds seriously need to start leaving your house every now and then. "totally fake because that explains why it was being filmed". Sometimes shit just happens while someone's aimlessly filming. Stop being so damn cynical.

@Hedgehog

no one said this cant happen but this is fake, you can even see when the board hits the windshield the steering wheel doesnt move, if that happened to any one they would hit the brakes and turn the wheel suddenly not keep driving at the same speed

This was on the Today show the other day. The driver was filming the two trucks in front of her because they were hogging the roads to themselves. The one on the left glanced off the 2x4 which caused it to fly up and into her windshield.

It's by sheer dumb luck she wasn't killed. And whoever said she was driving too close, that looks to be a full car length between her and the trucks.

"that looks to be a full car length between her and the trucks."

If you think a full car length is acceptable following distance you need to be killed before you kill someone who isn't completely retarded. At a proper following distance she would have had more than enough time to evade.

That is not tailgating by any means.

This is why you shouldn't use your smart-phone while driving.
