I have never seen any, the ones on Taxis are usually holding their Taxi plate in place!
Surely:
- Most people involved in an accident these days will try and claim compensation and they don't have black ties.
- If they were planning on some sort of fraudulent activity, why would they put anything on their vehicle that advertises that fact?
- How is claiming compensation defrauding the insurance company?

Thank christ......i thought i was going mad.
I've seen these, once i realised what they must be doing i've noticed them a lot more often.
On my way to work i approach a roundabout that has a left only slip lane with a junction on the end of it. You have a clear view of traffic coming from the right for at least half a mile. I was driving behind some ****** toyota carina e and i couldn't see another car anywhere but i slowed down warily because, this will sound very 'stereotypical', i'm wary of elderley asian drivers as they tend to be....how can i put this.....**** drivers. Sure enough the guy stopped, not braking steadily....he just stopped, then looked at me in his rear view mirror for about 5 seconds, then drove off. I was surprised that his tail lights didn't come on and whilst i stared at the back of his car he had a black tie, like a neck tie, dangling from his boot.
about 8 days later, same junction, different car, same black tie.....stopped dead in the road.
As an underwriter i checked it out at work and it's a huge scam, similar amounts are claimed for each time and after asking our fraud team to cross reference rear end shunts in our city, 1 unlucky bird had been in no less than 5 car crashes in a month!!!
I can now predict, almost reliably, where this will happen and with which cars. I won a tenner off my mate after betting him that the car in front.....a nissan bluebird, would break and stop dead in the road round the next corner as it's a blinf bend with a school on the end of the street. sure enough i slowed off the gas, rounded the bend and coasted to a gentle stop right behind the car in front. My mate was gob-smacked. He said the driver must know it's a school road.....i would've probably believed him if i was naive, it was a bloody saturday afternoon.
It beggars belief.
I'm glad i'm not the only one that's noticed this though. Thought i was
