Ouch that had to hurt! at least with the footage provided by the dash cam he didnt have to worry about the other driver making any false claims.It doesn't mention in Umar Raja's post much about the incident - what junction etc but this is a fairly standard accident that happens all the time
Great video from Gary Mc Crashes, smashes, bumps and near misses. I think that the first one is great of the overtaking. Anyone else ever had this happen to them when they have gone to overtake? looks like this one was quite a near miss!
Captured from Welshdrive's Dash Cam. Quite a large selection of examples of bad driving that you find on the average road including an example of the ultimate lane hog ion the motorway. Those people are so frustrating and they hold everyone up
Not only are dash cams valuable for proving crash for cash scams but they are also useful for proving your innocence should you get caught up in an incident which is not your fault, which is what happened to this HGV driver, thank goodness he had a dash cam
This is the terrifying moment that a motorcyclist veers across a winding
country lane - and ploughs head-first into an oncoming lorry. The
footage is taken from the lorry’s dashcam, the biker is seen failing to
take a bend and drifts into the opposite carriageway as the HGV
approaches. The motorbike was torn in half by the impact - but
miraculously the rider escaped with just a broken shoulder.
Police thought that the lorry driver might have been guilty of speeding but the footage proved he was not at fault for the 30mph smash in Rye, East Sussex.
Mark Chamberlain, managing director of John Jempson & Son, which
owns the lorry, said that the footage proved that his company's driver
was not to blame for the accident.
"The driver was travelling safely and within the speed limit. You can see on the video that he is passed first by a motorcyclist who
turned out to be the female partner of the injured rider. The second rider follows very closely behind her. If you slow the
video right down you can see that he hits a pothole and veers over the
road into the path of our truck after coming out of a corner. There is a collision but thankfully the motorcyclist is lucky and he
escapes with a broken shoulder. He is already coming off the bike at the
point of impact and he ends up falling to the side of our truck.

Some great examples of why you should get a dash cam on here. Footage is from UK dash cameras including insurance scam attempts and a runaway lorry.
