Need suggestions regarding the car accident Mrs was involved in.
Some guy rear ended Mrs hatchback. She was stationary, the other party was doing 15mph ish. She recorded him admitting all of this on camera.
She says her neck hurts a little. You see where this is going...
So guys, what's your take on the subject? ____________________ Boris - London |

To commit insurance fraud or not is the question you're asking in the public domain.

This reminds me of a story in the local rag from last week.
https://www.kentonline.co.uk/ashford/news/road-rage-terror-as-man-47430/
A young lad and his girlfriend were apparently driving down a dual carriageway and got into a road rage incident with another mystery car. There was either some very bad reporting, the GF got things a bit mixed up, or this was some sort of insurance cover up.
The lad in question had just bought his shiny Focus ST, which unfortunately now has damage to the rear and the side (apparently from the 3-4 times this other car rammed into the side of them).
The GF said they were a bit sore the next day. (Kerching).
The only photo of the car shows damage to the rear bumper, which some of it on the left looks a bit low to have been caused by another car. There is also no mention of it hitting them from behind.
I know the stretch of road they were going down and it's got some cracking long fast weeping bends in between the roundabouts, all lined with Armco. It's popular with sports bikes and young lads in cars such as Focus ST's.... We used to nickname it the roundabout GP.
Could it be possible that the young driver cocked up and is blaming some hit and run driver, in order to lower his insurance increase for next year? Or doesn't it work like that?. I'm guessing a 22 year old in a Focus ST will already be quite steep. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Sounds like they could be after a payout from the MiB. If it is indeed a fantasy story, I doubt it's going to end well for them. |
There were a lot of holes in the story, which has also been edited since the first string of events. Apparently the mystery car in question, where they couldn't see the number plate even after apparently stopping inches behind him, escaped by reversing up the dual carriageway. (there is not exit for at least half a mile).
Does the damage in the photo in the link look consistent with a car impact, or a lad who lost it on a fast bend? (horizontal scratches?). ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

who said 15mph?
I was hit from behind on the bike at around 10-15mph, I was stopped, left foot down, right foot on brake.
Bike knocked from under me, I stayed stood (not sure if moved but stayed upright)
for the following couple of days I could not lift my daughter up (1yrs old at the time) and my neck and shoulders were stiff (started stiffening that afternoon)
Due to the above, I do believe whiplash can occur in low speed shunts, especially when one party was stationary, I ended up having physio.
I'd inform a general 'feel a bit stiff but will see how I feel after a hot bath and good night's sleep'
If, and only if, still sore next day would a claim be valid.
I was half way though my holiday (went two days after accident) before I could easily get out of bed in the morning and pick up my daughter, my wife and inlaws had to cope with daughter and suitcases through the airport as I couldn't lift them. ____________________ Looking to pass your CBT / Bike tests in Bury Lancashire? try www.focusridertraining.co.uk Would recommend.

Going to the hospital would be a bit melodramatic.  |

It is good to see most of you guys have some dignity.
I honestly thought everybody claims for any kind of injury. If it was the case I would have though "why would I be an exception?".
Thanks guys, I'll make sure she mans the fuck up.
Cheers. |
You asked for opinions in a thread asking if you should act like a pikey because your Mrs may slightly have a tiny pain in her neck, although you're not quite sure.
As we all have to pay for fucjwits who fake whiplash, what did you expect? A roaring, yes please feck us all over response?
Come on... Think for a minute. Especially when your insurance renewal has gone up again. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

I think that only the lowest of the low commits insurance fraud.
The question is "is living with the pain with no compensation worth it"
Ps: I think your inner pikey makes you think everyone else is a pikey as well. No, decent people do exist. |
Note that I'm currently in the middle of a 200k claim for loss of function and change of career. If she is in serious pain then sure, claim away. If she felt shaken up for a short while then don't.
Easy as that. ____________________ Previous: GSF600, FZR600 x2, ZXR750, XT600 Tenere, CB125, CZ125, ETZ 250, ER5, CCM R30, DRZ400, RF600x4, RF900x2, GS500, VTR1000F, 640 SMC, CB250 NIGHTHAWK, GT550x3, GPX750 TE610, CB500, X11x2, SV650, ZING 125, TL1000R,CB250 Superdream, CBR1100XX |
