Here’s how to avoid being a “Crash” dummy, with the help of G-Force and the Eyescan In-Vehicle Camera.
One of the most common road traffic accidents is “rear ending”, when one car is hit from behind by the vehicle behind. In many cases, the most common physical injury is whiplash, a painful distortion of the neck that, depending on the force of the collision, can be quite painful and debilitating. But rear ending also results in large financial settlements being paid to the victims, something that criminals have sussed out and are taking advantage on a regular basis.
More often then not, the driver of the following vehicle is deemed to be at fault. As most cases are taken as one driver's word against the other, very often the driver of the following car is forced to pay out cash settlements.
Mostly insurance fraudsters will fabricate an incident in private but sometimes, perhaps more dangerously, they will deliberately cause an accident to take advantage of members of the public. This often involves cars slamming on their brakes suddenly, giving the following vehicle no choice but to go into the back of them. Some criminals have even been found tampering with the brake lights of their vehicles, in order to prevent other drivers from stopping in time.
“Crash for Cash” is rapidly on the rise, and it’s estimated that over £390million is being lost due to fraudulent claims.
Those most at risk are those most likely to have insurance, and this means the vehicles you use for your business. But there is a way to protect your premiums, and your drivers - with the Eyescan In-Vehicle Camera.
The Eyescan In-Vehicle Camera is suitable for all vehicles, and is designed to fit nicely in the wiped area of the front windscreen. It then records the driver’s view of the road, and allows you to playback your recording at a later date.
Having an In-Vehicle Camera means that you are protected from “Crash for Cash” scams, as you can prove the driver in front is at fault in case of accidents, as is the case in this video. The driver of the following car actually managed to avoid paying £40,000 worth of damages to the car ahead, because he had footage proving he was not at fault for the accident.
The Eyescan has also been found to improve driver behaviour, helping to cut inefficient driving behaviour and reduce bad driving habits like speeding and harsh braking.
But don’t take our word for it! Eyescan In-Vehicle Cameras were installed into the entire fleet of leading tanker operator, Hoyer Group.
Hoyer Group transport chemicals, gas and fuel for Shell, Esso & Total. Their Group Operations Director said the Eyescan Camera “will protect us from staged accidents and any further 50/50 settlements.”
