Study finds drivers’ accident recall is severely lacking, highlighting dashcam benefits

Aug. 14, 2024
The inability to recall key information during a collision should alarm truck fleet owners and managers. One way to ensure accurate recall is with dash cameras.

U.S. drivers can’t recall 68% of key information following a crash, according to dash camera company Nextbase. A recent study by the provider found that “no drivers could remember all vital information after witnessing a road incident,” and 44% of drivers “failed to identify the car at fault for a traffic incident.” 

This lack of total recall from motorists across the U.S. could have big ramifications for the trucking industry.
