I think these things are due to take off of here in the UK but it's got nothing to do with track days. They are extensively used in Russia due to insurance fraud. Fraudsters would run out in front of a car but giving enough distance for the driver to stop and then when the driver stops they fall on the road pretending to have been hitrolleyes

There's a lot of crash for cash going on over here with people slamming their brakes on just after they pull out a junction and if it's recorded and an obvious CFC hopefully they won't get paid out and maybe the CFC driver's insurance will have to pay the repair for the car behind. I also think the CFC driver will struggle to get insured again either. Oh and it will help stop premiums rising too.
