More Dumb Crooks

[Canary42]

From BBC Hampshire:

Report of 2 cars involved in “crash for cash” in Bicester. Unfortunately for one driver they tried to do it to an unmarked police car. Drivers arrested in Langford Village.

[Footnote: For those unaware, "crash for cash" involves the crook overtaking and pulling in front then braking very suddenly - if (when) you hit him he sues £££££ for injuries - neck/back injuries impossible to disprove in many cases)]

P.S. Don't know why Hampshire report covers Bicester which I believe is in Oxfordshire. Near, I suppose.

All the more reason to gave dash cams.

(It's a wonder these type of crooks don't suddenly find they have serious injuries, when they finally come to, after all. Must have been part of that unfortunate accident.)

"Unfortunately for one driver they tried to do it to an unmarked police car."

But fortunate for every other driver! This is why peeps need dashcams and what not.

You're right there spath. When my Audi was written off last Sept. Police checked the rear view camera and the guy who hit us was looking out of the side window at time of impact, bang to rights!.

That's it, if you're a good driver then a dashcam will be your best mate with the amount of idiots on the roads.

Glad you had proof of the other drivers incompetence

It serves those crooks right.

These douche bags need a good hiding. But of course a slap on the wrist will suffice.

Not sure why you've called them "dumb"....the police car was unmarked.
