Déjà vu?

Yes, dashcams are fast becoming a necessity these days.   I'm going to get one.

Good thing the pickup had a wheelchair in the back!

This is why I like the 4-camera system like I have on my bus.  In his case, it would have been interesting to see what happened before he came into view of the front of the cab.  I would have liked to see him in the rear view camera first then in the side view camera to see what caused him to cross in front of me.  Maybe he tried to avoid a dog in the road or something or another car ran him out of his lane.  Maybe it wasn't the pick-up drivers fault. We can't tell with only a front camera system.  Such as you can see here...

Wow.
I hope everyone is OK. I would also like to have seen out his drivers mirror.
I have always loved my rear radiator screen fins and my HUGE mirrors because I can back up just about anywhere, and I can see all but about 2-3 feet in the rear.
Dad always used to say, "You've gotta assume every other driver is a dumb @$#. But if it's between killing some innocent person next to me, or running over someone who thought they were fast enough to cut me off...no question". And in 70 years, hundreds of cars, and 3 buses...not one single accident.  ;D
