I think speed is the big problem on this one. Most of the trucks will do the limit so judging by the speed he passes the truck, this guy is really travelling.

Yeah not unusual, I think the current affairs programs like to recycle stories over and over.

I'd be backing the dash cam as being right as I doubt a truck would have an incorrect date set. Those stories tend to gather legs and I think they are distributed by an agency to many outlets so maybe they could all have fallen in to the trap ?
I showed this video at a recent 4WD club meet (not Paj club), which is more of the same.

Not so sure it's a truck, judging by the height of the dashcam and the ariels on the front bar.Originally posted by Ian H View Post
Long way to drive from Adelaide to near Townsville with that van in tow without a problem . I reckon it's the aerodynamics of passing the vehicle and cutting back into his own lane a bit to quick that buggered him up.NX Pampas Cat GLS MY16

It’s a Transcend dash cam. I have one and if the battery goes flat, which is often they lose the time/date and default to 2015. I’m now sick of resetting the thing!

Many years ago, I was carrying a trailer load of mattresses to a ski lodge. I had about 18 mattresses in a 7 x 4 trailer - a stack in the middle with 2 mattresses stacked vertically on their sides each side. The whole lot was roped down. The load was, shall we say "Springy". I drove about 70 to 80 km/h all the way because the trailer was twitchy. All went well until i got to the foot of a long, steep hill and I gave it a bootfull of throttle to get a good run up the hill. As I went past the National Park Ranger gate, a wombat wandered out in front of me. I swerved and missed it, but the trailer was really throwing the car around. Fortunately, I was at full power and eventually the trailer settled down because I was able to pull it out of the sways. Coming back down the next day, I saw the skid marks left by the trailer. It was obviously dancing from one wheel to the other. Exactly what angle it tilted to I have no idea, but I guess it must have been interesting to look at.Comment

IMHO there are mostly 3 reasons for these accidents:
Speed, speed and speed.
Vans are just getting heavier and heavier, with manufacturers understating weights grossly, (personal experience).
So we have caravans weighing more than the tow, speeding, with all that weight centered around a 50mm tow ball, and then swerving back into the left lane.
Guess what happens next?
