Does anyone know if there are logs for the penn dot cameras? I was in an accident here on Sunday: [http://www.nb.net/~finals/cam48.jpg](http://www.nb.net/~finals/cam48.jpg) The other driver was going about 25 mph literally in the right lane, with the right signal on. Then, at the last second cut left into my lane (middle). I slammed on the brakes but there were cars passing on the left and this car was coming from the right. Crunch! I think my truck is totalled. And now the insurance claims people are saying it will probably be my fault since it’s the front of my car and the rear of the other driver’s. I would like to find a camera log between 11 am and noon sunday showing exactly what happened. It’s the Kirwin Height camera. Northbound lane on 79. Any ideas? ---

Ok. This is messed up. The Penndot guy told me: 1. it’s too much information to store 2. and there’s no guarantee that the camera was pointed the right way, anyway I said - It’s the kirwin heights camera on 79. it’s been pointed south all morning. At the exact place of the accident. Now the camera is pointed north: [http://www.nb.net/~finals/cam48.jpg](http://www.nb.net/~finals/cam48.jpg) :wtf: ---

Well the 2 people that I e-mailed said that they have no clue about any recordings. One of them offered to forward my e-mail to the tech support folks down there but have not heard back from anyone else. ---

Thanks, guys. Definitely appreciate the effort. I talked to the insurance people again and they are taking my side of the story seriously and waiting for the police report to come in.
