This Scammer Jumped In Front Of A Moving Car And Made The Biggest Mistake Ever

ADVERTISEMENT

The Association for Safe International Road Travel reports that nearly 1.3 million people die in road accidents each year, which means that 3,287 people perish in crashes daily. That is a harrowing statistic and it’s small wonder that countries all over the world work to improve road safety. However, some people see accidents on road as an opportunity to profit.

Back in July of last year, a dash-cam video surfaced on Facebook, showing a pair of men trying to stage an accident. Why? To try and claim insurance. Insurance fraud is a serious and frequent problem in the UK, where the video takes place, with 68,000 cases of motor insurance fraud reported in 2016 only, as the Association of British Insurers reports.

Luckily, the lady driving the car had the upper hand in this unfortunate situation and we’re sure that the moped-driving-accident-causing men who were trying to pull this scam off regret it. Scroll down to see what happened.

Back in July of last year, a dash-cam video surfaced on Facebook, showing an “accident”

The man with a moped ran in front of a car, crashing his vehicle

He then jumped stopped and jumped on the woman’s dash

And tried to make it look like she hit him

He even got his friend to film the ‘accident’ as a proof

However, what they didn’t know is that the woman had a dash cam and filmed the entire ordeal

“What the hell? You idiot!” the woman shouted, as the two men scurried away

People on the internet were quick to express their opinions

She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).

I'm with the others...she should have waited to say she had a camera! But obviously your adrenaline is rushing and you are freaking out not thinking when something like this happens!

You can almost hear the cartoon running away music in your head as these two morons realize their plan failed.

Her mistake was letting them know she had it all recorded. Had she waited for the Police, they would have been 'outed' and not allowed to get away and do this on someone else.
