The number of scams where drivers stage accidents to claim on other drivers’ insurers has reached record levels. The IFB have counted around 30,000 accidents being staged last year with an average claim being £17,000. Insurers in the UK are out of pocket about £350million in 2009 and in turn they added £44 to premiums of EVERY driver in the country.

The areas of the UK with the most claims are Birmingham, Liverpool, Blackburn, Manchester, Leeds, East London and North London.

The Fraudsters usually tend to brake suddenly on a clear road or roundabout so that an innocent motorist drives into the back of their vehicle. Then they go on to claim for personal injury, damage to the car and recovery fees. Hideous.
