Dashcam detective
Discussion
I was interested to read this account of a Porsche owner who made a fraudulent claim after saying he'd been sat in his Porsche when it was hit by a truck. In fact, he was outside the car at the time, and appears to have been having a dump at the side of the road. Unfortunately for him he was filmed on the dashcam of a passing truck.

I would hope that he's prosecuted for fraud, but I can't find any mention that he was.
But I bet his evacuation was somewhat accelerated when the truck did hit his car!

Even without a fraud charge, I suspect that dropping the entire claim (i.e. the ~60k claim for damage to the car) is a pretty big hit for the driver, as I doubt their own insurer will cover it ('If you hadn't lied to get £5-10k for fake injuries + treatment then other insurer would have been liable for vehicle damage')
(Though would also hope that there would be some contributory negligence for parking up in such a stupid location if the claim hadn't been dropped...)

How does someone thick enough to think they would get away with that earn enough money to fund one of those?
Why does everyone think that anyone with expensive possessions have earnt it or the classic “work hard”. The only people I know with pricey metal have been gifted it, inherited the funds or it’s through nepotism at family businesses.Killer2005 said:
Those companies are worth F all. It’s probably from drugs or Covid bounce back fraud.Franco5 said:

The only people I know with pricey metal have earned it through hard workBased on the video footage, I hope the trucker gets banned for dangerous driving, or at the very least a stiff penalty for DWDCA. The fact that he apparently didn't see the obstruction until he was about 30ft away is pretty shocking, given the lighting, weather condition and visibility at the time. And I say that as a licence holder to drive same.
