Crash for cash scheme!!! Someone has hit me!!!

[don simon]

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.

Bloody foreigners!
Three Merseyside men face jail over an elaborate £1m “cash for crash” con.
bringing your crime and criminals over to Wales is just not on.

Well my part is done, I have reported to police as a fraud case, don't want to get my insurance involved, I know what they can be like... :augie

Just hope nobody else gets done by this chap.

... Just hope nobody else gets done by this chap.

The more information that can be put on the internet about these people, the better chance of finding similar cases.

Well done for reporting it to the Police, there are procedures in place to deal with these situations, just that some people can't be ar**d to go through with it.

Well done... I might start to like those bumpers... (only might, don't get your hopes up lol).

So are you going to get Richo to make a car sticker with a X on it, so you can put one one each front door, just like "I like trucking" lol ?
:lol

PS... stop singing that damn song.........

Installed a DC, a while ago spooling on 20 min video. Have ordered same cam to put in rear window for the idiots behind......:nenau

 

[briggie]

I have a couple of dash cams , but a word of warning to people using them .... yes they do provide evidence of the crash , BUT they also record your driving too and most record audio too , some have gps which shows your speed too , obviously not just at the point of crash but also before it

 

[AlexD333]

Yes inhale hears that they can request the whole card to assess your driving, although if a spirited driver you could update say it's just been wiped or its a new batch of video.

 

[johnb5177]

Which reinforces my belief that you don't have to drive like a prat!

You then don't have to worry about your driving, being scrutinised and possibly criticized........:nenau

Switched of audio record on mine, I like silent movies.......

Hi,
Just to let you know that a number of our insurance schemes offer discounts for a wide range of in-car cameras.

Hi Dan, I'm already on th case for next year, had a hard time presenting paperwork for home address ect, next renewal I will be on ball. Ran out of time this year... Paying another 16 quid per month for my cock up :doh

Nice camera footage.

Impressive picture quality in daytime is night driving good too ?

I guess they are useful in circumstances where drivers have no lane discipline. Insurance companies seem to readily accept 50/50 liability in many cases.

Not got one though my mate has just fitted a front camera in his Merc.

Looking at the footage he seems to have just rolled back into you does not look like a scammer to me. Guess trying to blame you is typical of many drivers who do not want to accept responsibility for mistakes / poor driving.

If you had normal front bumpers fitted I think there would have been no damage to either vehicle. Oops not having a go at your bumper design.lol

Well I am convinced I need a pair of cameras now for each vehicle.
Do you have any links to the e.bay camera you put in Mrs Alex d333 car?

This is the one, I suggest buying another USB cable also as the two they sent were pants and caused the camera to squeal.

Apart from that it's auto loop, audio if you choose, g force doodah ect ect, motion :thumb2

Bear in mind you'll need a decent cable and a card though. The cable provided made me think the camera was broken, PC wouldn't read the camera properly and the noise was unbearable :doh

Luckily I had another cable.
