Whilst Dick Turpin is long dead, his actions live on in modern day crimes on the road.

There is a crime that is sweeping the country and innocent drivers are the victims. These drivers are being ambushed.

This is what can happen :

You may be following a vehicle, generally an ageing car or van, onto a roundabout or slip road. Suddenly, the car in front stops suddenly, but it had no working brake lights and so you run into the back of it.

There may be two cars involved. One is in front of you and another one may veer into its path, the car in front of you brakes hard and you crash into it.

If this happens to you, it is vital that you get in touch with a compensation lawyer who will be able to claim money back for you from these criminal motorists.

For the most part, these set-ups occur at busy roundabouts and slip roads. The people behind the crash know just what to say to make it sound like the innocent driver was in the wrong. gangs are often behind these modern highwaymen and they are able to repair cars and have many vehicles working at once. They charge the victims more money than they should over repair work and hire cars for the ‘injured’ party. They will then go on to make a claim for compensation so that the innocent driver’s insurance premiums go up. The highwaymen will carry the maximum number of passengers and they will all claim to be injured which means that even more compensation claims are logged. So what was a minor accident has turned into a claim for thousands of pounds.

insurers predict that there are at least 10,000 of these false claims and accidents made each year, and have put their guard up against them. With this in mind the Association of British Insurers have created an Insurance Fraud Bureau. They work with the police to find these gangs and bring them to justice.

These gangs are putting innocent drivers and their passengers at risk. It is vitally important that insurers and drivers work together in a concerted effort to stop this crime.
