Lol. When I first saw this I was like
"Aw. Pooor EDL members" (Sarcastically)
Tbf, people will try to claim however they can
Anecdote:
1) One of my colleague's wife has an automatic car, that automatically parks itself as well ie: the handbrake is automatically applied
A car smashed in to the back of them, and the people at the back were claiming that my colleagues wife rolled back
She told her insurance that it's an automatic - and the brake is automatically applied. Case solved
2) Someone said I crashed in Bradford. I was no where near the crash site. I have a box that proved it. Took a while for my insurance to say to the others it wasnt me
3) At work, someone was contracted to exchange the gas cylinders, for the data centre.
The guy that came in, brought his nephew in as well. The person who went in to the data centre, incorrectly changed the gas cannister,and it's pressurised gas, so it went bang in his face (ie: his own error)
^ We have cameras inside there, so we can see
Any way, initially he said that the issue was our fault (Video evidence said otherwise) And also, he said his nephew wasn't there (ie: his nephew wasn't covered by the insurance at the company he works for) which would get him in **** at the company works for
Despite video evidence, apparently it was our fault, and his nephew never existed. He was a figment of our imagination
