February 20, 200917 yr A car insurance claim form where a disgruntled male driver accuses a female motorist of being a "freeloading fat chav" has been leaked on the web 'Fat Chav' Insurance Claim Form Leaked Insurance giant AIG has launched an investigation after the form - complete with a cartoon drawing of the accident scene - began doing the rounds on the internet. The driver - who is named, along with the woman - describes a shunt at traffic lights in which his car apparently hits the rear bumper of the vehicle in front. Under the section 'Full Description Of Accident', he writes: "I was stopped at traffic lights. The lights changed. Mrs P***** started to move and then stopped (stalled). "I had just started to pull away and then broke. As I stopped I very slightly touched the rear bumper of the car in front. "We both got out. There was no damage and Miss P***** is a fat chav who definately (sic) does not have whiplash." The abuse does not stop there however. Under the section 'Sketch Plan', the furious driver vents his spleen a second time with the aid of two cartoon drawings of the accident scene. The overview shows two cars labelled 'Fat Chav' and 'Me' while the side view shows two cartoon characters arguing in the street. A speech bubble coming from the pot-bellied lady driver declares: "Ooooh I'm a freeloading fat chav who doesn't have whiplash." The male responds: "Chav!" An AIG spokesman said: "We take any potential breach of data security very seriously and we are actively conducting a full investigation into this matter." http://uk.news.yahoo.com/5/20090219/tuk-fa...ed-45dbed5.html
February 20, 200917 yr I propose we start a fan club for the driver. At least we can give moral support when he is publically disgraced for telling the truth !!
February 20, 200917 yr I once 'crashed' into a lady at walking speed and took a chip of paint off her bumper the size of my thumb nail. I said: 'No problem, let me have the bill and I'll pay it, no point for going through the insurance for something so trivial.' Next thing I know she's suing for whiplash and emotional damage, saying I was driving recklessly. The bitch got 3 grand for nothing! BTW she had a child in the back in a child seat asleep, the child didn't even wake up!
February 21, 200917 yr Dishonest, greedy opportunists everywhere, Tiggs. It would have been relatively simple, in the circumstances you detail, for the insurance company to prove fraud/attempted fraud. But no, too much drama for them to go through the court system for so small a claim, so they pay up and it all goes away. In their foolishness, they knowingly take the risk that it will only encourage more of the same. For mine, that woman is as bad as a common thief. If a few of them were taken before the criminal courts for this type of thing, others would probably think twice (and our premiums wouldn't continually skyrocket).
February 21, 200917 yr Agreed, I informed the insurance company of the truth and they said they wouldn't want to look bad disputing a small claim! What?!?
