Small world Margaret. I have a feeling he was called Jim.

My mate drives a 44 ton artic for a firm with about 400 lorries, big red ones. Not Snothards.
They all have a camera in the cab facing out and also one watching the driver facing in.
The one watching the driver takes a video on a 1 minute loop and if there is a crash, sudden braking or anything out of the ordinary the video freezes on the last 30 seconds before and after.
It is then send over the airwaves, instantly, to a central control monitoring station for assessing and saves as evidence in case of damage claims and shows exactly what the driver was doing at the time. Maybe picking his nose or swigging from a tea pot..
My mate reversed onto a loading bay last week and touched it, the rubber defenders stopped any damage but the camera reported it to the monitoring station.
The drivers have written assurance that the company can't see the driver at anytime, it is only the monitors who get the clip of the incident.
