Is this what our world has come to?

I almost bought a dash cam after watching this. The van driver could have been shafted without it.
It's a mk2. Fill it, drive it, enjoy it.  :smiley:

What a w@nker that Peugeot was! Someone might have been seriously injured in that, wonder what the outcome was, and what lead the pug driver to do that in the first place?

Title said cash for crash. So I'm guessing attempted insurance fraud.

If you google the plate a video of the car for sale comes up. That us about as far as I got with "what happened next"

The claim would have been against the driver that ran into the back of the van.
I also sincerely doubt that this is an Insurance scam!

The van driver has probably flashed him to move over and the Peugot driver has lost the plot, but why on earth would slow to a stop like that on a 50 dual carriageway??? Serves him right but i feel for the driver that hit the van.
Currently pootling around in our family wagen, a Tiguan SEL 😂

No lead car to instigate the pug to brake so its a bit iffy to say crash for cash from that footage.
Although close the van did stop, guy at the back gets to pay....
At least the whiplash claims will be genuine and not the usual scummer scam for any bump or knock.
I blame the pug, should not have stopped like that. Move over if someone is tail gating you, its not a race
