Close call

Here is a video that was taken from my dash camera. It happened to me one of this mornings

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jxTbTSUB70

Since it is wide angle camera, it seems like it was further, but in reality I was about to pass that truck. It was REALLY CLOSE. I thought that I will either die or get bad injury. The above link is a full original video.

The link below is what was shown on the news ( I send them the video)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuP-18iflvo

Enjoy! And rate the first video, I want it to be more popular

Yeah, I was going 65 mph and plus it was raining. I am sure if I was 30 ft ahead I would not be able to write this right now

Awesome, thanks. I'm looking at this one. After learning that in Florida, citations are not admissible in court as evidence, I figured a dash cam would suffice to mitigate that. At any rate, glad your OK. I hate it when trucks drive in the left lane like that, especially near Orlando...
