TR won't let me post the link itself because it has the letters D and P beside each other

 

Well what are the odds of that happening here in FL? Never seen/heard of anything like this happening around here but hey it is 2012, we don't know shit about shit.

 

Oh it happens... I've had people slam on their brakes for no reason to try in get you to hit them. They know they will get an insurance pay out. And then if they claim the "my back hurts" one they get $10k+. One of the guys at my work just pulled that one. I pray every week that there's a PI in the trees watching him play softball with a hurt back! Makes me sick.

 

what a douche bag

 

no brake light either or reverse?

 

That's funny, that same thing happened to me about 2 weeks ago. I was at a stop light behind someone (I understand my car is low, but I could see their heads in the car, so they should've seen me) and they decide to go into reverse and proceed to back into/onto me. They ended up onto of my hood, and the hitch hole put a hole in my front bumper :/ Then they had the nerve to run! I did'nt chase them though, because from the drivers seat it seemed pretty bad, so I immediately shut the car off. Then drove home with 1 head light, a folded hood, a cracked grill, and a bent core support

 

Wow I'm sorry man...

 

FWIW I used to work with an engineer who was also a certified accident reconstructionist ("The One", ask Z about Brad G).

One day he calls me into his office and shows me a grainy picture of what looks like a broken coil spring. He's always quizzing me about random shit I'm and I'm getting kinda sick of it so after 3 or 4 guesses I say a light fixture filament, (if I was a comedian there would be a joke about a light bulb appearing over my head right about now) ie the thing that gets hot and makes light in incandescent bulbs like the halogen headlights and brake lights in most cars.


Instead of explaining the graduate level physics of light bulbs (ie right hand rules or when metal gets hot it breaks easier) I'll just quote from the page that that picture came from:

In this case it doesn't look like the Acura's (I don't think they are LED) reverse lights even come on? He doesn't hit the car that hard but I'd have to guess he's either disconnected the rev lights or pulled this scam before (duh) and broken the rev light filaments.

Either way the cop should know some of these warning signs (like the car has only been owned 1 week before it got hit) and if he's trained right should put it in his accident report.

But having the guy on camera asking you to fork over cash in lieu of filing and accident report is pretty badass. I wouldn't have pointed out the camera just to try and nail the guy on as many fraud charges as possible.

 

Whoah! I don't need any more convincing, this is proof enough.
