Default Flash for Cash scam exposed...

If a car flashes to allow you out of a car park on to a main road, beware of this scam..

Cheers for that...I usually only pull if they're far enough away and flash, if they're what I think's to close I let them go...same with indicators, I never pull out unless I see them turn in, or unless they're miles down the rd when start doing it

+1.

It's always nice to be alerted to new scams.
If they're close to me I never pull out until they slow down, anything more than 20 yards away and they won't catch up to me anyway

There's also another one to watch out for, where the driver pulls out on you while you're already in an overtaking manoeuvre, and then puts his indicators on. It's happened to me a couple of times, although I'm not sure if it's just clowns who can't drive properly.
(On both occasions there's been no incident but that's not the point).

That's probable a blind spot on there part.. it has happened to me on 100's of occasions over 20 something years of driving. I also have done it to others !! Look then look again..I did 50k per annum for 10-15 years!! In cars and had many near miss 'incidents' shall we say.. and NO accidents.. that were my fault anyway

Bad drivers/scammers all the same to me, get back mother F..er

Got to love Les Grossman

Play this when pulling out (in the car) very loud with windows open
