Current Events > Why the insurance fraud trend won't work

(+) Yeah! (+)

Recently people trying to get insurance money have been jumping in front of cars to claim insurance money. This really shouldn't work the way it does. Most of the videos I've seen of this game people jaywalking which should deny them insurance money for that incident. Since they broke the law.

Though I'm sure it probably doesn't work like that since it's still happening. But still...

They used to drive like that when I lived in the south. That's why I learned to leave a *lot* is space and I try to never follow too closely.

I mean people from a sidewalk run into in incoming car and juml on the hood to make it look like they got hit, not the cars randomly stopping.

Also jumping into cars sometimes causes death.

If you haven't seen it yet here is an insurance fraud in action.

They just clearly hop onto a vehicle.

You aren't magically absolved of fault if you hit someone just because they were jaywalking. It's shitty but that is the reality.

Well luckily most people just stop right in front of the scammers, so they don't get the insurance money and look very stupid.

Really?

Well that really sucks. At least if you have a dashcam though people can see it's fake/intentional and hopefully won't get the insurance money.

This is why you should have cameras. If trying to make somebody crash intentionally isn't assault with a deadly weapon, it should be. Instant and permanent revocation of drivers license.

Yes really. Most places pedestrians have the right of way no matter what. Jay walking is irrelevant.

If you have a dash cam and you get into an accident, disconnect the cam and hide it somewhere until you can get back home and make a copy of the footage.

You can bet your ass the police will confiscate your cam and you'll never see the footage again

I wish she waited for the cops before telling them about the camera. Let him continue his act, call cops, cops arrive, bust his little game.

2017 and these dumbasses still don't have dashcams
