+1 Not to mention, the rear end brake slam trick is the oldest insurance fraud trick in the book. My friend with nice cars never follow old ratty cars too closely, for this reason. Some people look like they are looking for money, its obvious. |
I worked for State Farm as a claims investigator. If you hit someone, you're at fault. Period. Whether they stomped on their brakes intentionally or not. You are responsible for NOT hitting them from behind, regardless of what they do or how fast they stop. If you can't stop in time, that's because you didn't leave enough distance. Period. Done. |
Depends what the video shows, fool. |
Depends on the state. I know someone who owns an insurance firm. You need to get your information straight. State Farm is not the most picky of the bunch. |
You seem pretty confident in your hypothesis that you can read-end other drivers with impunity as long as there’s a video of them stopping suddenly, so why don’t you get a $100 dash cam off Amazon and find some MD-tagged moron on I270 that you can use as a test case? |
How would you prove the other person didn’t think they saw a deer? I’m not sure PP is the fool. |
I am arguing the opposite. I am also hoping you are not the PP that claims to work for State Farm, because your insureds are doomed. Maybe you have the type of car/life insurance policy that you are willing to use as a "test case"? The other PP was bragging about forcing other drivers to rear end their "old Camry", by PP stopping short. I am telling you it is not a good idea. No, I am telling you that you will be caught. But set up accidents to your hearts content, far be it from me to warn you not to. |
Easy. I am not at liberty to help you commit insurance fraud. |
Not looking to commit insurance fraud nor do I tailgate, I’m just letting you know that if you have a dash cam video of the car in front of you stopping suddenly and you plow into it all the driver in front has to claim is “I thought I saw a deer” and I can guarantee the cops will cite you for following too closely and your insurance company will make payments based on the narrative in the police report and the video of you plowing into them. Continue tailgating, no skin off my back if you run into the PP in the 2003 Camry. |
I know someone who owns *two* insurance firms. I won’t tell you their names. |

If you're in the middle lane of route 1 thru Old Town during rush hour the 'i thought i saw a deer' line won't work.
Deer are not everywhere all the time, genius. |
I agree. PP here. Not sure why you are trying to twist matters. |
+1 That is just one of MANY reasons why that will not work. |
What if someone cuts into your safe space and then brakes? |
Why are you looking for free money? If you cut someone off, it is your fault. Not the PP you are responding to, but the insurance companies are NOT stupid. |
