Is there such a thing?

[tutton]

As most of you know if you rear end sumone (crash blatently )
that its your fault and the other party will claim off you as you went into them.

Are there people who are out there trying to claim off people and trying to cause accidents on purpose?

I only ask because i was so close to having a big off earlier and now i think about it its weird.

All the way i was following her doing 40 in a 30 firstly. like she was playing with me. then we get to speed humps she does 40 over all of them but one near my house and deciedes to slow to about 5mph at the drop of a hat, it was soo close i felt my front wheel hit her bumper, only gently no paint damage i could see, but if i havnt braked so hard i would of ended up in her rear seats.

She didnt stop even tho i think she knows i hit her, she carried on and so did i and then i turned off, im not liable for not leaving details am i? because she didnt either?

Cheers.

Yes.

[meach]

There are definitely people out there doing it
https://www.whatprice.co.uk/advice/car-insurance-fraud.html
but i would say more likely if you were in a car rather than on a bike, you're going to do more damage in a car.
And if it was a scam she would have stopped and got your details and feigned all sorts of injuries.

Sounds like you were tailgating her like a complete arse. She stayed at 40 to try to get away from you, then when that didn't work she slowed right up to give you a little warning.

It was your fault 100%. If people do that to you then BACK OFF.

Tailgating is one of my pet hates, and from your description it sounds like you're one of the worst offenders.

If you can't stop when someone slows to a halt in front of you, then its YOUR FAULT.

The worst thing about all this is, if someone genuinely does need to do an emergency stop in front of you, and you go into the back of them, you'll be the one whose head ends up jammed in someones rear windscreen, or in the back of a van or lorry.

Don't do it, its stupid and makes you look like a twat. Especially when the paramedics have to scrape you out of someones BMW.

All tailgaters should be taken out and shot. Boyracers are the worst. Funniest incident of this that I have ever seen was when my brother picked me up from collage one day, Boyracer was pratically touching his bumper whilst doing 60! my brother flicked his sidelights on and he did a paniked emergancy stop. He stopped so suddenly that he tore the lowered front bumper of his car. Very funny. If you are going to tailgate you should expect someone to try somthing like this to get you too bak off.

Hows it tailgaiting if im leaving around a 2 second gap
and she goes from doing 40 down to around 10,
surely its not my fault that i like nearly hit her.

Wasnt tailgaiting at all, she just seemed to slow down so suddenly it was stupid so much so the polo behind me then got very close to the rear of me as she'd stopped soo fast, this is a normal speedhump as well, she was in a standard car no low springs or anything.

hard to explain but it wasnt tailgaiting, if it was i wouldnt be asking, as id know it would be totally my fault but it wasnt like that.

If you cant safely stop in the distance between you and the vehicle in front you are too close end of.

What if a truck had pulled out on her and she'd have stopped dead? You would have added to the carnage i suspect.

Safe stopping distances arent just for the safety nazi's.

[tutton]

Thats the point im trying to think about 40 to around 10.
So i was in the safe area (2 secondish) to stop, until she decieded to change her speed drastically, nearly causing me to eat rear bumper.

Didnt think of swerving onto the oppisite side of a speedbump, and cant remember looking if there was anything the other way.

As all my concentration was on not shunting sumone big style.
and it happened so bloody quick, then like the slow motion, when you know your just about to crash, then it goes fast again and you struggle to control/avoid. lol

Tutton, you are a spod. I know where you mean and you're a dick if you think you're ok to razz down there at any kind of speed. I know for a fact that there's an action group forming for that road and they're going to purchase a speed camera (same kinda thing as the one on the way into Langport).

The reason they're getting one is because the road is a dangerous one. How many lap posts have been smacked down recently? Dead cats, dogs? Smashed up busses? Am I ringing any bells?

30mph for that road is plenty. I'm not the po-leece though, and if you choose to belt about like a knobber, at least give yourself a bit of stopping distance to the car in front.

If I was in that car and you'd smacked into me, I'd have torn you a new ass.

[Barry_M2]

[tutton]

Shush unknown its outside the shop where she just stopped dead on the biggest speedhump.

Enuff flaming me now
At least there was no superficial damage i dont think.
and really a speed camera :O
theres often a mobile one out the other way to bath road
