Due to an ongoing insurance claim I will keep this as vague as possible so no company names etc.

Unfortunately while stationary at some traffic lights a HGV decided to change lanes and drove into me (at a very low speed)

The haulage firm are now claiming I was at fault which is annoying as the driver at the time admitted fault and was very civil.

Does anyone know what this is in the middle of the windscreen? I can see a satnav on the drivers side and am hoping this is a dash cam, as the footage would prove he was at fault.

Thanks in advance

Looks like an AHD camera set up. Will have a built in DVR system recording 24/7.

Could just be the sensor for the many systems trucks have now, but Unfortunately even if it is a camera I doubt they’ll give you the footage if they have seen he’s at fault and are trying to play the blame you game.

In that it looks like a relatively new TGX I'd second it just being the camera for the driver assistance systems unfortunately.

The forward facing cameras we use on our trucks (as part of a 360 degree recording system) are about the size of your thumb and sit on a little podium either centre (or just off centre) of the dash or hung in front of the sun visors.

After a second look and one arriving from Germany yesterday, it does look like its the Lane Guidance System. Sorry frown
