Flash for cash scam
IMO we need a new offence of deliberately driving with the intention to cause an accident. It would attract a mandatory minimum sentence of 12 months imprisonment and a 10yr driving ban. In the most serious cases, the perpetrators should be charged with attempted murder.
Anyone who intentionally risks causing death or injury to an innocent party by driving dangerously with the intention of defrauding an insurance company for financial gain needs removing from society.

Is this "assault with a deadly weapon"?
Moving the indicator stalk must use too many calories, we wouldn't want them all collapsing at the wheel due to exhaustion.
On another note. Followed a guy out of Swindon centre, all the way to Tesco fuel station. Never indicated once.
After I'd got my fuel, he was in the kiosk, browsing the display of air fresheners, which also displayed bulbs. I couldn't help myself. I walked over, pointed to the 21w bulbs and said "These are the ones you need".
"What for?" came the indignant reply.
"For your indicators." my cheerful reply.
"There's nothing wrong with my indicators." he stated, quite loudly. A moment of absolute silence in the kiosk, followed by loud laughter as everyone else understood the story. The two ladies on the tills were struggling to manage due to laughing so much. Priceless. Smug smile as he watched me walk back to the BSM car.

It's just as bad with those muppets who indicate at the last nanosecond.
The other day I had some guy lean on the horn as I came out onto a roundabout right in front of him. His exit had 2 lanes, both are clearly marked (and used) as ahead. I looked at him as we approached - no right signal so I must be OK to carry on. I had slowed to get a good look & was in appropriate gear (driving gloves, flat hat, scarf) so was no biggie to stop or go.
His indicator came on after he went over the white line and as I was committed to going.
I don't know about dashcams with dual remote lenses, it's looking more and more like we need a 4 lens system for 360deg coverage.

They indicate just as their brain realises that you may kill them. Sadly, their self-preservation instinct fails to compute the reaction times needed, so always too late.
the 1 that really gets me ;
those drivers who when exiting a Dual-carriageway/motorway,
indicate at the last of the 3 x countdown markers ( or later), then leave the left indicator on until it cancels itself miles down the road,
it's a daily problem where I live = there are 2 RH lanes going onto a busy roundabout,
with another ( 3RD ) LH lane feeding directly into an office / commercial development ( 40 / 50 MPH traffic),
so you are travelling down your correct lane LH when the traffic in the RH Inner Lane slowly moves forward , revealing a stationary car indicating LEFT !, with a 30% chance of then moving LEFT into your path at 5 mph,
it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't happen 3 days each week, !,

I've looked at those units previously but couldn't find a suitable lens for discrete car use.
