Rammed off road by HGV, who then drove off
Discussion

A dashcam isn't really going to help the OP when hit from behind, is it.
Silly boy!A) if the car had been following the truck or even just driven past it at some stage prior to the event then there would be footage of the truck and quite possibly the number
B) if the truck rammed from behind then took off then the truck would potentially have passed a front facing camera as it drove off.
C)I know plenty of people that have them front and rear (dashcam is a generic name so isnt limited to just being fitted on the dashboard)
The only thing thats definite here is that if theres no dashcam fitted then theres no chance of reviewing any footage for any clues as to the drivers reg no. truck or driver description
This was me being rear ended last January. Only a forward facing camera but made things with insurance go smoother.
Only put the camera in 2 weeks before.

Did you hit the car in front and did the driver that bump into you admit fault?

I actually missed the car in front of me. The 2 in front of him hit though and the 5 behind me all went into me.Did you hit the car in front and did the driver that bump into you admit fault?
I saw the guy behind stop in my mirror though so he was thankful for my statement and it all got put on the other 4. Although they are still fighting between themselves.

It looks from the footage that you also left your braking a little late
Were following a bit to close for the conditions.

What's your point? They haven't banned that yet.It looks from the footage that you also left your braking a little late

2 cars hit each other a couple of cars ahead and I stopped without hitting any one, locking up, or even braking really hard. I think my distance was OK.

Nice reactions but you lose points for no use of the horn or finger gestures. I feel for you, I bought a dashcam for just such an occassion - nearly needed it once... See below:
