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?
 
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
 
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".
 
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.
 
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.

You may get more than you bargain for if you put that on your car rindy, especially in certain parts of manchester:D:D
 
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.
 
I thought it helped discharge static to earth and so help prevent car sickness, having said that blackburn is the nations capitol for crash for cash incidents that is true.
 
Nope, done a search, and can't find anything about people, of whatever nationality, driving sround in cars that are marked to alert others that they are willing to take part in fake crashes/fraudulent insurance scams.

Of course these crashes happen, and they have been many prosecutions, but I can find no evidence that they have marked cars, inviting others to involve themselves in a crime.

If the sign alerting others is still attatched to the car, when it's picked up by the tow truck after the 'crash', you'd have thought the police who have to be called when there's a traffic incident, might have noticed this trend too.

Thus invalidating any insurance claim.

As a scam it seems very flawed.

If blokes in garages are discussing the ruse, I doubt it's been devised by a criminal mastermind.

At least not a very successful one.

:rolleyes:
