Morning All,

Hope you don't mind me posting this here but we got on the news last night (it was only Channel 5 so you probably didn't see it!) hopefully on Sky News tonight.

Two people arrested, police think they've busted a massive ring and wouldn't surprise us if they get custodial sentences.

Full story here: Sky News Link

Full video here: crash for cash video

Not sure how long we'll be able to host the video though.

Cheers,

Mark.

How would one determine that it was a decoy rather than a numpty missing his junction and another car slowing to avoid him?

It's all speculation at the moment but have a look at the operation catcher press release. In my opinion, the Merc could have done a much better job of avoiding that Golf.

I can 100% tell you the lorry driver had no intention of hitting that car on purpose.

The camera was supplied by his insurance company. After the accident he sent the footage in to his insurance company (thinking he was at fault) and it was the insurance company that were concerned the footage and passed it on to the Police.

There should be more on Ch5 News tonight at 5pm and 7pm.
