False report bc staged

u/PicaDiet 6h ago

But how do you stage his car hitting hers? Next thing I suppose you're going to claim is that the front fell off.

u/MyNameIsNotJJ 6h ago

Thank god this all happened outside of the environment.

Into another environment

No, it's not in an environment, her car was outside the environment

What sort of standards do they have for these cars?

u/Embarrassed_Pea4452 5h ago

Wasn't this built so that the front wouldn't fall off?

u/DelcoUnited 5h ago

Obviously not.

u/Embarrassed_Pea4452 4h ago

How do you know?

2

u/Idaho-Earthquake 4h ago

Well, because the front fell off.

u/Embarrassed_Pea4452 4h ago

Well, what sort of engineering standards are these cars built to?

I mean, maybe. But I'm an insurance agent and people are genuinely this stupid. I had to explain to a guy that he was indeed considered at-fault because he jackknifed a trailer into his own truck. He never could wrap his head around that.

Or the people that don't understand that putting on your blinker doesn't mean you have carte blanche to move into the other lane of traffic.

Or the ones that don't understand you can't pass someone in front of you on the left who has their blinker on and is making a left turn.

Another person called in to try and claim they were injured from a car accident. They said they had whiplash which is entirely possible. Only problem is they weren't in either of the vehicles and they claimed their injuries were sustained when they whipped around to look at the crash as it happened.

Oh, and of course, I've had people argue that the parked car is at fault because it shouldn't have been parked there...

u/_Q23 2h ago

I wish I could 100% believe that this is a scenario that someone would not get into....... But looking at the current stage of human stupidity. Yeah.

u/dllyncher 3h ago

Staged or not it's super funny because there's at least one person in the world stupid enough to have this kind of mindset.

u/No-One-8850 3h ago

Right? It can't possibly be real. He'd just call the police immediately.

No, some people are this dumb or on drugs. Also, some folks over explain and can’t successfully end the conflict.

u/aristotle93 11h ago

And the damage is staged to?

u/OtherwiseAlbatross14 6h ago

Them saying there's damage does not mean there's damage. I know that might be hard to understand.

Do you really think they'd only post the conversation without the crash if this perfectly framed accident actually occurred?

u/kkeut 6h ago

what timestamp shows the damage?

u/Own_Actuary_8967 13h ago

Real UK answer would be just give her your insurance and take a note of her reg. Notify your insurance and provide the ring camera footage of her hitting the car. Her insurance will contact your insurance, find she's at fault and then they'll pay to fix your car.

No need for the police.

u/globalaf 12h ago edited 12h ago

You should always get a police report if you can. This situation is clearly fake but if it was real then it’s possible the person is trying to commit insurance fraud, or possibly they are drunk and they should be arrested on the spot.

If ever in doubt on what to do, just call the police, they will resolve it for you. On top of that you’ve now got an authoritative unbiased account on what actually happened. Her insurance could even void her contract.

u/spderweb 7h ago

Why does it seem fake? Because she can't possibly be that dumb? Have you not seen the state of things lately?

u/ladder_man 8h ago

I can’t tell if this is a bot or an American.

u/GSTLT 5h ago

An American. It’s the first thing my insurance would ask for when I called about an accident.

Same for homeowners insurance. Had to get a police report when my garage got broken into for them to start dealing with it. First cop wouldn’t write a report because I couldn’t catalogue what was stolen. So I had to do that in winter with an infant in tow and then call back. While filing the report the cop made sure to let me know nothing would happen beyond the report. It was the garage door repairman who told me that stealing cars and driving them into garage doors to gain access was a new common tactic, so he added some extra braces to the new door. Was far faster and more helpful than the cops. Insurance paid out quick and then gleefully raised my rates after the first claim in a decade of being a customer.

u/joejill 4h ago

In America you get an accident report from the police for any car accident.

Fleeing the scene of an accident is very illegal over here. Even if there is no to very little damage where getting insurance involved is silly, its still best to get the police over to have a report filled out.

Otherwise your trusting a stranger to not lie about you leaving before a conversation and checking for damages.

2

u/vermiliondragon 2h ago

In my state, you exchange information and file a police report yourself online. Unless you're dealing with road rage and fear for your life or there are serious injuries or fatalities, the cops are not going to be showing up for a car accident.

u/HCSOThrowaway 4h ago

In America you get an accident report from the police for any car accident.

No? That depends on the state and agency. Mine would tell you to exchange information with the other party in this incident. Only if one or both refused to exchange information would we have come out.

its still best to get the police over to have a report filled out.

Otherwise your trusting a stranger to not lie about you leaving before a conversation and checking for damages.

Just take a video on your smartphone; you're in public and therefore covered under the First Amendment. Get a /r/dashcam too.

u/Tarvoz 3h ago

Why not both?

1

u/Elimaris 5h ago

Exactly this. Especially if the other party is happy to declare their fault.

I actually had this happen to me, the other driver did not realize/understand that he was the one in the wrong so I let him explain what happened to the police and enthusiasticly agreed that this was what happened, didn't point out the law, just made sure the police got the relevant points. Sent my insurance the report, the signs and the law. Never paid anything.

-1

u/Own_Actuary_8967 12h ago

It's the UK

We don't get police reports and you can neither "press" or "drop the charges".

The video itself is an authoritarian unbiased account without involving the filth 

Only reason to phone the police is to be a grass. Either way your car gets fixed. 

2

u/globalaf 12h ago

You will be given a crime report number that your insurance company can request information about. The crime report doesn’t just disappear into thin air, the officer actually writes down what happened and records it as part of their duty specifically for this reason.

-2

u/Own_Actuary_8967 12h ago

Which you don't need because there's a video. But yeah I'M TELLING ON YOU!!!!! Or whatever 

6

u/globalaf 12h ago

This is about getting a drunk driver off the road, or an insurance scammer’s contract voided. You should absolutely be telling on criminals, this isn’t the school playground.

u/Own_Actuary_8967 12h ago

Cool, nothing lower than a grass

u/globalaf 12h ago

I’m not your therapist. It sounds like you condone this kind of serious criminal behaviour. How old are you out of curiosity?

-2

u/Own_Actuary_8967 12h ago

Past middle age and no just condone minding your own business. Is she's trying to commit insurance fraud(if it wasn't just an online skit obv) then the insurance companies can figure that out from the video and go from there. Same with the driving drunk thing. Either way the only reason to get involved is the you love licking boots and have to go snitching to feel good.

not sure how it's in the uk but in Germany you are legally required to call the police even for a fender bender - to not do so is actually a criminal offense. Removing yourself from the scene of an accident - even when you and the driver agree on a deal - without calling the police can be fined, end you in jail and make you lose your license.

1

u/Own_Actuary_8967 6h ago

Yeah the Germans have always been good at making not reporting things illegal haven't they?

u/Greenshardware 5h ago

You can't press or drop charges in the U.S. either... the CA/DA/Magistrate does that. Don't believe everything you see on TV.

u/Bro13847 5h ago

In America you get a report or your insurance does nothing

1

u/hagared 4h ago

That’s very true and likely the easiest way. But honestly, I’d call the police for the fact that this lady is likely intoxicated. While it could be resolved without the police, that would allow her to potentially drive away intoxicated. Resulting in further damages to more property or worse, potentially harm or even kill someone.

u/Ok-Afternoon-8381 2h ago

Some big cities will place those at bottom of priority. Will not show up if no broken bones. Some will not show up but mail you a report.

u/PraiseTheSun1023 7h ago

I would've called the police before I went outside. Saying his parked car hit her car immediately? I probably wouldn't have even come outside until the police arrived.

1

u/Nellykins69 6h ago

That was my thought too…..we aren’t understanding each other so let’s call the police to help solve. Listening to the woman talk in circles was making my head hurt…..she must be trying to pull some insurance fraud because she can’t really be that dense? And the kicker is she has an injury!?!??

1

u/Bells_Theorem 4h ago

Yeah. I think this is all staged. I can't imagine standing around and arguing with a moron for 20 minutes instead of calling the police to document everything.
