Near Miss at Taree NSW
9 Nov, 2018 - 8 years ago - on Wingham Road Last Friday I went for a ride from Taree to Wingham and back in NSW. This ignorant truck driver thought it might be good to exercise his might.
You will notice in the first half, the Fly 6 rear camera, he pretends to move over a bit, still nowhere near the 1.5 metres he is required by law.
Then when it switches to the Fly 12 front camera, you can see he completely forgets about that and moves back over to the side line well before he was passed me. Then keep watching as he moves back towards the centreline after he completes his full pass.
There was absolutely nowhere for me to go, the shoulder did not exist and there was a drop off on the side of the road. It was just hang on and pray. If you listen carefully, he can hear me mention a few choice words right in the middle of the recording.
NOTE: the date on the rear camera is way out, and the time on the front camera is not Daylight saving so it is out 1 hour.
