Beware of masters of forced bumps. It is so obvious what they do that in the monitoring movies you can see black and white. The General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways shows what the hunting of fraudsters for drivers, which can be set in a collision.
The monitoring camera has recorded several cases of provoked bumps on the new northern Krakow beltway. The perpetrator had no idea about it.
– The dispatcher saw another such situation, but with the participation of the same car. This has already aroused our suspicion. We checked the recordings thoroughly and it turned out that there were more such situations within a few days – says Kacper Michna from the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways in Krakow. The fraudster lost its routine. – These situations were regular, they were repeated every few hours – indicates Kacper Michna.
The police do not yet know if only one person is behind it. When the car slowed down on the right lane, other drivers wanted to take his belt, then the fraudster accelerated and used the dead field. He was like a ghost.
– There are three to four lanes. This vehicle movement is quite large. There are also frequent descents, so this lane change maneuver, it is known that it will take place here – emphasizes asp. Kamil Szumny from the Road Traffic Department of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Krakow.
– There are people who use such a wording, they live from it – says Zbigniew Korytnicki, former head of the Road Traffic Department of the Municipal Police Headquarters in Gdańsk.
Usually these are not so -called lonely shooters. – There are also organized groups, not much, well organized. Because these are not just an additional witnesses who are driving in this car. But these are “random”, the substantial witnesses who seemed and saw – indicates Dariusz Nowak, adviser to the President of Krakow for safety and video monitoring.

What to look for?
– Even be careful about such gestures, like someone letting into someone. Of course, he releases, thank you very much, but I check if he has actually stopped or giving way to me, whether it is a let in, I would say, a bit so false. Or letting me down to enter someone – says Damian Zięber from the Insurance Guarantee Fund.
The gangs that earn on this often played human fate. In Bialystok, 16 people have just been broken, who extorted two million zlotys for 60 fake collisions. In the country, the amount of scams is estimated at up to two billion zlotys a year. It consists of honest drivers paying contributions.
– In the event that (honest drivers – editor's note) suspect extorting on the so -called bump, they worked closely with whom? With their own insurer, because it is insurers who have specialized tools and teams to detect such potential abuses – notes Damian Zięber.
It is worth guided by limited trust. Fraudgrowth warnings are not only in Krakow and Bialystok.
– There will probably be cunners who will try to extort this compensation, or, to put it simply, pull us on the money. But if we prepare well for it and we are careful on the road, then the probability decreases – says Zbigniew Korytnicki.
