Sometimes you know something bad is going to happen, you see it coming, but you are unable to do anything about it.

Dash Cam Owners Australia posted a video on their YouTube channel that illustrates this feeling of helplessness very well.

The BlackVue owner in the video manages to press the brake pedal right on time when the front car comes to a sudden stop, but the chasing SUV driver doesn’t seem to notice of even slow down, as seen on the rear camera footage.

Luckily, having a dashcam when involved in a multi-car crash can help you expedite insurance claim process, which can be a headache to explain from memory in such circumstances.

We hope the video did help in clearing any doubt as to who was at fault here.
