is this true ?
 

I have noticed a little piece of black material hanging from the back [on the tow ring on the bottom right ] of a lot of cars in accrington and blackburn.all of these cars owned by asians . I have been told this black material indicates that they are willing to crash into each other and half the compensation money.

My car insurance has risen year on year for 4 years simply because i have an accrington postcode .

If this is true;this cannot be allowed to continue!!!

Has any body else heard anything similar?

Re: is this true ?
 

Can't say I've heard that, or seen any on cars myself.

Perhaps it's what's left, when tin cans were tied to their cars when they got hitched.

;):D

Trust me you will notice it now.

How weird is that?
However, would logic not suggest that a) if these people did wish to crash into each other, they would make a private arrangement snd not advertise as such and b) if it is indeed the case of the hanging plastic, then maybe the opposite is true and the message to the following car is "Don't do Cash for Smash on me chummy, 'cause I'm one of you lot".

The guy who told me picks uo cars after crashes and he rekons its widespread

Re: is this true ?
 

I'll certainly check now.

Being Asian myself I've just been to look at the back of my own car.

There was just bit of rope.

Left over from when I towed someone from the KKK.

That is out of order. Thats like saying gypsies dont steal metal and weigh it in. Im not saying its everybody just that i have only noticed it on asian cars . Well over 50 times.

If its true its affecting EVERYBODYS premiums .

Read the thread title . Im trying to find out if its true

You'd think it'd be easier to get one of those handy li'l signs, ever so helpful folk stick in their rear window, to relay interesting personal information.

One day last summer I nipped out in my slippers to buy eggs from the allotment next to my flat.
On the car park which I had to cross were 3 men, two vans and a car.
An asian man was taking photographs of bodywork damage on the vans.
It was clear to me that the damage had not happened there, but the vehicles were gathered in this remote location for the purpose of taking photos.
When they noticed me looking as I passed the asian made an abusive remark to me, to the effect that I should mind my own business.

The remark was intended to intimidate me, and would not have been said if they were acting legally.
I have no doubt that car damage insurance fraud is happening locally.

What's out of order?

What have gypsies got to do with it?

You asked a question, I replied I hadn't seen any such cars, or heard this theory until you posted it.

Re: is this true ?
 

I didnt say it was true i was trying to find out why lots of people for no apparent reason would have black material tied to the towbar.

Re: is this true ?
 

Can you offer a reasonable explanation ?

Re: is this true ?
 

You may get more than you bargain for if you put that on your car rindy, especially in certain parts of manchester:D:D

Re: is this true ?
 

When you say 'Asians', can you be more specific.

It's a massive continent.

I don't want to waste my time looking at cars driven by Thai, Japanese, or Mongolians etc.

Er...unfounded prejudice?
