“The footage shows a truck on the wrong side of the road at a passing lane,” said police commercial vehicle safety team national manager, Inspector Scott Webb.
Another said it would be interesting to see what the camera inside the J Swap truck showed. “[The driver] may not have had a choice ... pretty bloody scary”.
The Bay of Plenty Times last month asked J Swap via email if it was aware of the incident, how it was being handled with the driver, if the company had dashcam footage to show its driver’s point of view, and what led the driver to make the manoeuvre.
In response, J Swap said the matter was currently under investigation.
