'Flash for crash cash' fraudsters

[Duratec John]

Fraudsters flash their headlights, offering the victim a right of way to join a main road, but then speed up to ensure their car is hit side-on

The "rear ending" thing was bad enough but I predict it won't be long before there is a case of serious head injury or death with this method.

Being T-boned in the drivers door - not good.

Even if they aim for the front or rear of the car a side impact of any kind is not good.

Be careful out there

In the highway code it says you never wave pedestrians on or drivers in other vehicles, you also shouldn't flash your headlights to imply your giving way. This rule is to stop people causing accidents, i.e. waving someone on and another vehicle else knocks them down.

I try not to wave people on or flash my lights to "cede" my right of way as it can end in disaster, this is just another reason to be careful with such behaviour.

Doesn't the Highway Code state you should 'Flash' to alert other drivers of your presence, as opposed to let them out.

Fantastic cheap gadget but watching the videos at the bottom of the page, I would like to see the footage in an urban environment (where the scenario of what this thread is about is more likely to occur) as I'm not sure the lens angle would capture a car's headlights flashing while approaching from the left or right??? If it doesn't, the footage would be of you pulling out in front of an oncoming car !
