Two interesting videos of similar incidents. One of the video cars is driven by a human, the other by a computer.

Second bloke should have been locked up, imo.
Here's some more neat technology;

^That's the opposite of what I wanted to show. Imagine they are the back doors of a lorry. But instead of being black, they have a view of the road in front of the lorry on them.

Don't know why some videos work and others don't on this site.

I find writing something in the comment box - then putting the Youtube link in 'enter youtube' box works best.

There's no U-Tube Box here (AB mobile) However, some videos work fine and others don't. Seemingly random.

Barrow (the driver of the pickup), who last Monday pleaded guilty at Preston Crown Court to dangerous driving and failing to stop, was given a six-month custodial sentence, suspended for 12 months, ordered to complete 150 hours community service, pay £295 compensation, £400 costs, an £80 victim surcharge and was banned from driving for 18 months.

Very clever indeed! I didn't know there was no 'youtube' box on the mobile version.

Those screens will be a distraction , won't they ?

[Mamyalynne]

I don't think so , only what you would see ahead through your screen if the truck wasn't in front of you.

As I've commented before, all the screen would show would be the back of the other Lorry 2 feet in front of the one with the fancy screen.

Been an Ex HGV Driver & knowing the UK Weather, what happens when the rear doors of the trailer gets mucked up with road dirt? back to square one when the impatient driver starts taking chances, been there, seen the video.
