Totally agree with michael999 and Delancey - keep your powder dry for a while, and give these fvckers enough rope to hang themselves with.

Yeah, reversing into a parked car for no apparent reason, then having a possy of friends accuse you of rear ending them isn't scummy behavior at all :rolleyes:

They already have. They have caused damage to the OPs vehicle.

no i have a problem with people calling them fecking scumbags for something they havent done yet....

around 5 years ago had a guy on the quays outside st james gate, reverse his car into me at the lights..... he was at fault and it was fine....
people do make mistakes......

maybe this is another genuine claim or maybe it is not.. if not well then slate them... but at least wait till they do something fraudently

Em, seriously, go back through this thread and find the recording the OP took. Unless you are 100% insane there is no possible way to explain reversing your car into someone and then thinking that they are at fault.

i do hope these fecks get nailed for this and lose their licenses and what not.

im hoping it works out for the op ... great job you got the cctv there !

i would like to see the video of the incident when it is all sorted... so glad the bar keep gave you the tape !

these dash cams.... i've never bothered with one or even so a point to something like it but this thread is after changing my mind now after a scam as such... for the sake of €50 against a full claim and messing up your insurance and what not i'd gladly install one of these when i get myself a motor !

Good luck OP, i look forward to the result and video and i hope your neck doesn't hurt too much !

wohoo victory! Hopefully the guards can do something about them, if they dont make a claim at least see if theyl follow up on the dangerous driving as others have mentioned already. Good luck!

@robtri... forget about the official claim bit, they reversed into him and claimed he drove into them... that has been proven... so they are in the wrong and lying about it.

Based on the tone of the dialog, which is threatening towards the op, if they don't make a claim in this case, it will only be because they find some other victim who isn't as alert to what's happening.

Let me clear it up.

Whether or not they make an official claim or not for what they did does not determine whether or not they are scumbags. The fact that they reversed into him and told him that it was his fault and that "he was gonna pay" does.

TBH if you don't see how that is wrong, I'm not going to waste any more time trying to explain it to you.

Ken.

Don't forget demag, as soon as you get the copy of the vid make 10 copies of it. Just to have.
And way to go for doing the cops job for them. You should invoice them for the detective work you've done thus far.

If my understanding of this thread is correct then they've reversed into the OP on purpose - in what world isn't that wrong?

I would recommend castration as a suitable punishment for this.

OP - fair play to you for this, it's amazing to think that there's actually people out there who would actually do something like this. Just for Robtri's sake I'm referring to reversing into the OP in such circumstances as opposed to committing insurance fraud.

Ive heard this kind of story a few times before and theres a pattern emerging. This is a scam usually carried out by Nigerians who know that if somebody crashes into the back of their car for whatever reason its the person behind who gets the blame.

Normally they brake suddenly for no reason causing the car behind to run into them. Then they make a big scene and put in a claim for damage plus whiplash. Insurance companies are encouraging this by paying out compensation too easily.

They scam is actually when they pull there hand break lightly so you dont see any break lights and next bang you hit him .

In fairness brake lights or not if they are lightly braking and you hit them its your own fault for being too near. Unless they jam the handbrake and skid to a stop you should manage to brake

Ya i was thinking the same thing but i was afraid there might be some people in here that would not like us saying things like that .

Firstly, thankfully demag or the person they were talking to were not injured.
Secondly, get the copy of the vid and make sure that your insurance company are fully aware of all details including the presence of the vid.
Thirdly, wait until the other driver (and passengers) lodge claims and then nail them (until they do anything, they won't "suffer" much punishment).
Lastly, get the vid on youtube once all is done and dusted.

Unfortually in the world we live in now this happens every second of the day somewhere, but it is great to see someone stand up and be counted. We should all take a leaf out of this book and dont leave or beautiful country be ruined by these s*u*b*g* .

I just had a fella reverse into me earlier when I was parked asking for directions off a fella. I was parked in the entrance to an estate facing the road when someone drove past along the road, stopped and reversed into me.(After seeing the CCTV of this, he hadn't driven past, he was parked down the road and came reversing back up the road) As soon as he hit me 2 other fellas and 2 women came up the street and said that I drove into him, they couldn't have even seen him hit me. I called the guards, they did the usual, tax, insurance and licence and said that it was up to the insurance company.
How can I make sure this tramp doesn't get a claim off me. I have the witness who was at my window talking to me as he hit me but he has 4 "witnesses"

Am I missing something here....why cant you use the CCTV?

He did not say he could not use it of course he can what the op said is that he has not got a copy of it yet. And also not to use it until the other people actually make a claim then throw it in there faces .:)

Are you for real lad?
I was being threatened and intimidated, maybe you might not call it that but when 3 fellas get in your face telling you that "you gonna pay fo' this" I'm going to call that intimidation, at which point I called the Gardai and started recording them. They also tried to intimidate my witness, telling him that he wasn't there ( he was about 2 feet away from both vehicles, standing at my driver's window watching as it happened )and that I just picked him off the street to stick up for me, all the time crowding around us and getting into the personal space of both of us.
Bleeding heart apologists like you are why these scumbags think they will get away with anything, they probably came from broken homes too and daddy didn't give them enough hugs either.

NotExactly

On the off chance that these scumbags read this thread they won't make a claim?

demag

Thanks for everyone's comments and advice on this.
I really really want to put this video up on youtube as soon as I get it, but I'll see what the Guards say first, I don't want to harm any case which hopefully come of this.
Only thing about them trying to make a claim against me is that as soon as I saw the other driver had no insurance disc, I took mine out of the window and the old one behind it was the one they took details from, so he'll be ringing the wrong insurance company, I didn't know at the time I'd have the CCTV to back me up.

ronaneire

OP hopefully you can nail them.

Can't wait to see what happens next, fair play OP.
