no, heard about it in Middlesex and Reading though, people disconnect their brake lights and then jam on the brakes in front of you.

It's a common event in Bradford, which is why I never venture into that Godforsaken shithole of a city.

There's a scam they do in some places called the Swoop&Squat, basically a group of scammers buy a pair of cars, fill one of them with as many people as legal and then drive down a motorway until they spy a large, slow braking HGV, then position themselves and co-ordinate so that one of them "cuts up" the other, giving him an excuse to jam on the brakes in front of the HGV and he rams into them. The first car then makes good an escape and the second one stays behind to get insurance details... Then every person in the second car that got rearended claims off the HGV's insurance for massive injury compensation.

And the worst part is it's incredibly hard to identify as a scam, even with video evidence it looks like the trucker is at fault.

I'm pretty sure I used to live close to where that happened. If I'm right it's St Petersburg and it happens a lot, basically that's what the dash cam is for. Driving in Russia is crazy and there is no way on earth I would ride a bike over there.

I've not personally seen one myself, but have seen a few on TV before, some motorway police show or such like.

However, clicking around a bit from that vid, got this gem, I mean, it's almost fool proof

A friends dad is a rich white guy living in china. He has to have a driver as if they see him driving they jump in front of his car.

Someone tried to scam my sister a couple of years back, can't remember exactly what happened, but the other driver was a taxi driver...
