Transportation: Classic scam

Classic scam

By Anonymous - 01/07/2017 06:00 - United States - New Hyde Park

Today, I was driving when a woman started crossing the street against the light at the upcoming intersection, so I slammed on the brakes and stopped short of hitting her. That's when she intentionally jumped onto my car and started screaming that I had "mowed her down". The cops believed her. FML

Today, I was in a car accident. After screaming at the woman for running into me, I got in my car and drove off. As I was driving away, I was staring her down when I ended up rear-ending the person in front of me. FML

Today, I was hit by a car speeding through an intersection after the light had already turned red. Still partly blacked out, I crawled onto the sidewalk and I sat down. The woman rolled down her car window and yelled, "Watch where you're going!" as she drove by. FML

Today, I was driving in the left lane and was suddenly hit by a woman who was in the right lane. I ran off the road, taking out a fence and totaling my car. When the cops asked the woman what happened she responded, "My tom-tom told me to turn left." FML

Today, while driving home from work, I noticed the driver next to me was happily chatting on her phone. I fucking despise these would-be murderers, so I slammed my horn to signal my disgust. She panicked and swerved straight into my car. FML

Today, while I was walking to class, I was hit by a car. The driver stopped to let me cross in front of her, started moving again, hit me, and then yelled at me, saying it was my fault for walking in front of her. FML

Today, while I was driving, a police officer jumped out from the sidewalk and into my lane. I slammed on the brakes so I wouldn't hit him. He then gave me a ticket for "obstructing traffic." FML

Today, I was stopped in traffic when a woman rear-ended me, backed up, and sped off along the shoulder, taking my passenger side mirror with her. FML

Today, I was driving to work and stopped at a stop light. A full 2 or 3 seconds passed, followed by a car rear-ending me. The idiot driving it got out and gave me hell, calling me a maniac because I braked "too quickly" and didn't give him a chance to react. FML

Today, I wanted to buy a pack of cigarettes. My wife, who didn't want me to get them, decided it would be a good idea to jump on the hood of the car while I was driving off. She hit the car and fell off. My neighbor saw this. Neither her nor the cops believe me when I say I didn't hit her. FML

Ask if there are cameras on that street and see if you can get the footage pulled if so. Also, crash forensics should help you out- the damage to your car shouldn't be a match for the damage that actually would have occurred had you hit her.

And that's why you invest 30 bucks for a dashcam! Americans are notorious for sueing people for stupid reasons to get some easy cash! Also these scams are highly populair in China and Russia, just go to youtube and see for yourself!

You deserved it -- now get yourself a dash-cam. I recently got stopped for a rolling stop... From the cops perspective hidden behind the bushes and blocked by a trailer I'm quite sure it looked like I just "pulled the corner". The guy in front of stopped why over the line and I had stopped (and waited for the intersection to be clear / mine) ... and then I went. His dash-cam showed me just coming up and rounding the corner (his perspective). Mine showed that I stopped... No ticket, but I still got a warning. A warning for stopping? FML

Ask if there are Jam Cams (traffic cams) on the street. Also you may want to get a dashcam.

If you really did "Mow her down" I don't think she'd be able to scream about it. I think either a) she'd be knocked out. Or b) run over.

People like that make me so mad. See if there were any traffic surveillance cameras and check for witnesses. And yes, there are some injuries that are very common if a person is hit by a car. Since she wasn't actually hit, I bet she won't have those injuries, plus I doubt she'll have any broken bones, either. A doctor should be able to confirm that.

Get forensics to test to see it the damages to your car, matches this lady's "mowing". Also you should get street cam footage pulled and also invest in dashcams.
