Re: You wonder why Insurance is dear
Where does the original information come from ?
The Manchester Evening News reported the following in December;
Manchester, Oldham and Bolton are among the five worst areas in the country for staged car crashes.
The crashes are set up by criminals to target innocent drivers in a `cash for crash' sting.
More than 22,000 fraudulently-staged and induced accidents have happened since 1999 and the practice is spreading, according to figures from the Insurance Fraud Bureau.
Bradford topped the list with 1,669 reported incidents and Birmingham came second, with 1,510, followed by Oldham with 1,034, Bolton with 986, and Manchester 979. The scam was first spotted in the north west, but has now spread to London and the south east.
