Especially happening in South London, motorbikes crashing into cars deliberately for huge insurance fraud claims. Anyone affected pls message me as there is a very active group identifying repeat offenders, same insurance claim companies etc.

This happens where I am in the South West too (country, not London), there is a particular garage in Leeds (Evans Harding Engineers) doing all the paperwork for them too.

My sample size of 2 have both been Brazilian and didn't have any English, right after the 'accident' mysterious other men appear out of nowhere to get involved... I don't know details of others but have seen it reported locally.

Probably too late for you, but get a camera for your car.

They are cheap to buy online, powered by the cigarette lighter socket so easy to fit yourself.

We have them in both cars after my DH had an accident where the other car drove into him and tried to say they couldn't remember what happened.

Luckily a car behind saw everything and gave the police a statement backing DH.
