In the US we are supposed to stop BEHIND the line.

What model dash cam are you using. Is it a GoPro? Looks good!

LIVUE LB100. I'm sure you can find something better now

What the hell is a semi doing turning down a small street like that anyways?

He needs to swing out wider before making the turn next time.

As for the stop line, stopping on the stop line is legal in the US and you were fine anyways where you stopped, OP. I'm sure Canadian laws are similar anyways.



Semi drivers think they own the road, I hate them. They need to stay in the right lane, damn it.

I've been cut off by a semi on the highway in the Z for no apparent reason. By buddy used to drive a truck and he told me they'll do that to nice cars to "teach them a lesson". It's scary to think about the people driving these big rigs. They are interesting characters. Either way, I keep my distance feom these things.

I was a passenger in a mini pick-up when a large truck turned the corner the same way. The driver had his window down and I heard him say "I think I can make it" right before his rear wheels mounted the hood. He didn't even have a scratch.

The truck clearly would've hit him if he didn't move, even if he stopped a feet before the line.

Where did you get the dashcam? I'd love to have something like that!

I just snagged a hero 3+ (big sale at the PX) and the issue is mounting it for me.

I keep reading about the stop line. it's true, I should have stopped earlier. The point of the video was showing how I almost got ran over. It would have been another 40th Z destroyed(but maybe a better video to watch).

I bought the dashcam from ebay. LIVUE LB100. Average low light quality but daylight is good. $160 with import fees. I ran a group buy in our company, $100 each. The guy might give you the same deal if you're interested, send me a text

ze, Good of you to admit that you should've stopped earlier as the truck was already in the intersection making his turn before you approached the stop sign. Also very good of you to use your horn and reverse for the truck. :tiphat:

I really hate to see damaged Z threads.

Yes you should have stopped earlier, but even so, that truck still would have hit you even stopped behind the line. Good footwork OP! :tup:

btw, you are lucky that the truck did hear your honk...
