Damn, running a mini empire by the sounds of it, if they didn't have the stolen vehicles they would have got away with it for longer, I wonder if there are others like this out there?

Lots of this going on around the West Midlands.

We actually received a police alert that scammers were operating on the M54.

Have had a few very close calls, always hard to say if was a potential stated crash attempt.

However, leave a big gap if travelling around and be aware of the other car slamming on.

This is one of the biggest reason we pay so much.

Fraudulent claims for neck injuries are a total joke in this country.

Then people claiming for ridiculously priced hire / lease cars while theirs is being fixed.

They should all also be banned for driving for life.

Plenty of people on here contributing to the overpriced hire car thing while theirs is being repaired.

On one hand why not if someone else has damaged your car, why should you have to rough it in a lesser car but on the other hand all loaners are fun and I'm sure I can get everywhere I need for a couple of weeks in a Fiesta or Corsa at minimum hire fees.

That's why I fitted dash cams front and rear on all cars !!!

Didn't know about the M54 though so thanks for that - use it on a daily basis.

Did have an incident getting off at j6 soon after getting my 335xd . As I started to move off the motorway roundabout towards RAF Cosford the guy in front suddenly stopped for no reason going onto a clear round about strangely with no brake lights. Luckily I'd left enough space and managed to manoeuvre around him

Makes you wonder though !!!

Let's not forget the idiots who after a "genuine" crash then start making up lies and run up massive legal bills trying to prove their lie

The Cosfrod junction was one of the main bits they were using.

I use that junction a lot, so you have to watch out - twats.
