HaydnH Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I just saw this on the BBC, does the video on the page actually look like a crash for cash thing to you? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-35927989 Quote
Ebized Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Could be, if the two car drivers were working together by braking hard to catch out the camera vehicle, given the way the first car made such a late turn - maybe deliberately? 1 Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 That would have to be so well staged, like in a Hollywood stunt, 4-5 takes to make it so real! Quote
Hodaka Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Seen this video before, and I'm sorta on the fence. I think I'm leaning towards yes, assuming that they're working together as Ebized said. The car brakes for far too long and steers towards the black car. Then again, they could have just been sh*t scared. I know I would be. I only think it's a tad suspicious due to the context though. If I just saw that footage on YouTube I probably wouldn't think twice. Quote
jowen7448 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 I saw this on the news this morning. Given the subject matter I was surprised they picked this as an example as I think from looking at it it would be very difficult to say that's definitely intentional. I would have thought it would be extremely difficult to prove that they were acting together too unless they have previous. Quote

That sounds like over complicating things to me, why not just brake in the 1 car and say "sure, I didn't spot my exit until a little late but the guy behind should have been a safe distance away to avoid me even if my car's engine suddenly locked up!".

-Bradders- Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Video just looks like they've just found any crash vid as the article is re birmingham but the crash was filmed in london. Quote
docwra Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Could be, if the two car drivers were working together by braking hard to catch out the camera vehicle, given the way the first car made such a late turn - maybe deliberately? I believe they generally use two cars so the car that gets hit cant be accused of doing it on purpose, definitely seen this kind of thing before. Quote
Rock_Steady Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Crash for cash is old news, so spotting it is easy. Like Ebized has said, it's probably progressed into a more sophisticated set up due to it's easy to spot and well-known nature these days. Quote
-Bradders- Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Down my local high street 15 guys rented a minibus and had a rear ender in that. That's what sparked the whole thing when they all went for a whiplash claim! Quote
GMballistic Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Could be, if the two car drivers were working together by braking hard to catch out the camera vehicle, given the way the first car made such a late turn - maybe deliberately? I'm pretty sure I've seen that video on "Traffic Cops" (or a similar Police programme: "Road Wars", "Police Interceptors" etc) were they stated it was a "crash for cash" scam & both cars were working together. Just searched to see if I could find the episode but without knowing what programme it was I've not much chance so gave up. Quote

jowen7448 Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 (edited) This seems to be taking an unexpected turn Edit: Much like the car in the vid I might add Edited March 31, 2016 by jowen7448 1 Quote
