So thank god for my dash camera, IM TELLING ALL OF YOU GET ONE NOW!!!

If not for this camera I would loose my no claims ect ect.

he says we drove into the back of him!!! he was parked apparently.... :eek::eek::eek:

4 mins in if anyone doesent want to wait.
 
You can clearly see he took his foot off the brakes & used you as a handbrake:lol it also shows him being in the wrong lane & not indicating to change & has a brake light out to:augie
 
And this is why,

a: we live in the country,

b: I have three shotguns and two rifles!

If he'd tried that round here they'd never find his body.

Hope it all gets sorted ok, bloke.

Been thinking about dash cams, this may well be the poke I need to get one sorted. What make havev you got?
 
OMG!!!

so i called him....

He has seen video.. very sorry he says...

ITS NOT HIM ON THE PHONE!!! ITS SOMEONE ELSE!!!!

BLOODY SCAMMERS :eek:
 
Now,...

Don't get me wrong...

But...

Why does it always seem to be a certain section of our society?
 
Guys carefull whats been said as its an open forum, nuff said on that score.

Thank goodness for the video, did you tell him you had it on video or did he notice your camera?
I wouldn't of told him and then brought the video to the attention of the police and your insurance company.

Best of luck Alex and keep us updated please, my wife is really interested after watching this.

What camera do you use Alex?
 
What a cock, don't think race has anything to do with it plenty of scammers from all walks of life.
Got more than what he bargained for with you having the dash cam :thumb2
 
So what was the damage? It was like a slow motion bump :lol

So what dash cam do you have then?
 
Here we are chaps.


There are much cheaper about I also have an eBay one for 20 quid for the missus car, works a treat also.
 
I showed him the camera, he still denied responsibility, when I sent him the video he changed his tune quick.

As stated someone else on the phone, defo scammers
scammers,

I have reported to police and UK drivers on Facebook also.
 
I still say I wouldnt of told him about the camera. Let him make a fraudulent claim and theyll throw the book at him I say.
Well done anyway Alex.

Dont halfords sell that brand?
 
OK, think I covered all bases, smelling a scam I took pics of damage, the area infront of him, lack of passengers passengers.



God.... The damage caused to my Terrano...
 
OK Alex, I really never thought Id say it but just for once I like your bumper:doh

Maybe the bumpers actually made you his target?

Again well done taking all the photos.
 
I hope the police do investigate it, it might open up other cases that were set up.
Where are the other 4 passengers from the car that will be claiming whiplash?
Pity you didn't let his claim go through, what you have evidence of... is just a car rolling back at traffic lights, can't see the police doing much to be honest.:doh
How much to repair your front bumper... looks like expensive damage to me, which might require a complete new bumper.... at last lol...:lol

We have dash cams in both cars now... got one for the boat, to fit soon too, cheap to buy, they can be set to automatic, so they start when ignition is on.

Caution
the video wraps around, so over records footage, the time depends on resolution, and size of card, so have a second card and remove the original after an incident.
Note....
have a second card anyway.... you might not want plod to look at your card...if you have screwed up :eek:
The camera is your property, what you do with the info is up to you, it is not yet a legal requirement to have one, but like a black box in aeroplanes, I can see these being fitted to cars, if only to reduce insurance premiums.:thumb2
 
Bin using dash cam for a number of years now..
 
Complete tosser, so much of this happening and normally foreigners doing it. Good on you Alex for having the DC, pity you didn't allow the shite to claim against you as others have said.
