Infact doesn't it show the downside of a Roadhawk? He's basically uploaded video evidence of the fact the accident was his fault.

I believe that footage led to the group being investigated and getting prison time for doing something like 50 scams.

I'm sure the news article appeared on here somewhere.

I'd need a lot more than cash to convince me to fake an accident by getting a truck travelling at 56mph on a dual carriageway to smack into my stationary car filled with rear seat passengers :eek:

A lot of money! They could have been sent into the outside lane for another lorry to finish them off! :eek:

They are halfwit scum, logic doesn't apply to them.
 
I guess the give away is how many other accidents this person has been involved in.

On its own - it looks perfectly legitimate. Which is half the skill in these scams.

However if you start looking across all insurance companies and find it happens once a week or whatever, you know you're looking at a scam.

Information we don't have looking at just one video.
 
So, does anyone have or use one of these?

As someone who does a lot of driving and has had numerous 'fault' claims that weren't my doing, I quite fancy something like this.

"Police believe this to be a "decoy rear end shunt" two cars are involved. Watch the video carefully. When the lorry driver pulls in to the left hand lane the Mercedes closes the gap between itself and the car in front. The VW Golf makes a sudden turn causing the Merc to brake hard. The Golf is used as a decoy to give the Merc the excuse of having to stop quickly."

Seems a bit of an extreme shunt to me though, I can understand stopping as you pull onto a roundabout, minor tap, no harm, but claim for thousands in whippy compo mayte but that is a proper smack, surely that would actually hurt you? Not convinced that was done for money - if it was, they're retarded.

Having watched that video a few times, it still looks to me - as an HGV driver - that the trucker was still in the wrong.

As the situation unfolds in front of him, to my mind, he's far too late on his brakes.....

This one gets me !! :eek:

He was late on the brakes, but that merc should not have stopped, there was no reason what so ever for stopping, slowing down, yes....

You need to put the youtube code (the part shown after watch?v= in the youtube link) in [.youtube] [./youtube] brackets. So with your video you'd put [.youtube]-787CEzqqAc[./youtube] without the . in there.

You'd probably like the camera which I'm using because it doesn't display your speed, etc. ;)

Here's a crazy woman I caught earlier driving with the roof and windows down on the dual carriageway in the pouring rain. She followed me for a good 15 minutes, wiping her face and eyes every 10 seconds or so.


And some suicidal pedestrians who don't even bother to look.
