Wife, and I driving home. I notice a single occupant car undertaking me. It then pulls in front, and slams on the brakes. Because I was aware, and on the ball, I stopped without there being any contact. Nontheless we stopped into the police station to report what appeared to be dangerous driving. The police told us they had already had a call regarding the "accident". I invited the police to examine my car. Not a mark on it. End of story ! A week later, my insurance called me about the "accident" in which the NOW 4 ? occupants had all received whiplash injury, and the car was badly damaged. I told them the true story, and advised them to be aware that they were being defrauded. The insurance company still wanted to pay out. I objected, and returned to the scene. After asking at a few shops, one said they still had it on cctv. In fact they kept it because it was a "thrilling" near miss. I sent this evidence to the insurance, who still paid out. Why ? What's in it for them ?

I'm a motorcyclist and in 2009 a car-driver ran into the back of me on a busy dual carriageway. It was just a glancing blow and i managed to keep control of the bike. We pulled over and the guy became hysterical, refused to give me his details and refused to take mine. His car had one tiny tire mark on the front bumper and that was it. Luckily I videod the "damage" and his refusal to take my details. I actually videod myself reading them out to him. A few days later I then received a police letter saying "I'd refused to give my details" and also from a claims lawyer saying I owed £1000s as the entire front end of this guys car had been damaged. It was all completely malicious and took a couple of months to resolve. My insurance company did nothing to help me at all and just seemed to see the entire event as another way to milk more money from me despite the ludicrous and obviously false claim. I held out and eventually lost nothing.
