Has this one been posted? Few days old but basically footage from the cab of a lorry involved in a fatal on the M53.
Lorry driver gets 2.5 years inside. Pretty shocking incident to say the least.

Lives changed forever in single moment. So sad.

From the article

Matt Stockdale, chairman of PoliceWitness, said: "I formed PoliceWitness after I was almost killed by a reckless HGV driver.
"Frustrated that there were no police to witness what had occurred, I decided to empower the public to assist the police, in order to hold those who flout the law to account. "To date, nearly 1,000 motorists up and down the country have faced positive formal police action following the submission of dash cam footage by those who call themselves PoliceWitnesses.

So has anyone yet submitted a copy of Mr Stockdale's video of a collision with an HGV to PoliceWitness to pas on to the police and demand that the driver of the car is prosecuted....?

I had sent an email to bandit bikers local police force pointing out that idiot and his friends were riding around doing stupid and illegal things. I received an email back from them stating that although the videos were on the whole pretty boring that because the ones showing illegal activity didn't show the riders face there wasn't anything they could do.

Harrowing stuff.

Imagine seeing that truck approaching in your rear view mirror, terrifying.

ETA

I just noticed the person at the end did see it in the mirror and tried to take evasive action

Driver sentenced to 8 months in prison for dangerous overtaking caught on dashcam.

The Telegraph think it is the first time anyone has been imprisoned using evidence from another motorists dashcam footage.

I wonder how that tallies with all the police comments of "we can't do anything as we can't prove who was driving". No way you could tell who was driving the car.

No sure. He seems to dive out of the way of it at the start of the clip, so I presumed it was approaching at speed or tailgaiting.

Err it nearly takes him out? Clearly weren't using the mirrors and not indicating.

ETA: OHHHH there are two blue 206s in this video.

What I'm seeing here it confirmation that van drivers are the worst drivers out there. Impatient, inconsiderate, lacking awareness, lacking a brain.

I believe he is referring to the other blue 206 at 4:00

No. The one where the camera car appears to dive out the way of said 206.

It's at 4:00.
