Client accused me of HIT and RUN 

I bet he heard you making your trailer longer. Heard the bangs and thought you hit his car.

Definitely someone trying to get his car repaired off your company! Cannot stand people like that.

It's obvious that the guy crashed his car later that day and tried to get it fixed for free. People who do this are scumbags.

Hi. Ok. Parked up behind him . As you have backed up and just as 4x4 goes past you can see his back end is perfectly ok. On pulling out and round him to park up on other side of road , you can see that the trailer clears the car with bags of room between your offside and his near side , I’ve exploded the film just for clarity. Nothing was hit , nothing was hurt, Out of interest for insurance purposes , who was the witness / lying …………. Talk about trying it on. !!!!!! 😂😂😂😊😎😎. You are good man. !! 😊😊😎😎😎. Wish you Well.

We always recovered wasted costs for time dealing with fakers.

It shouldn't be needed but companies should required by law to have 360 cameras on all their vehicles to protect their employees from idiots. Having everything recorded keeps everyone honest.

Sad how some people are like that.. I used to have a neighbour like this, anytime something bad happened to his house or backyard or one of his animals he accused me. It could be silly things as leaves in his backyard or one of his chickens dying lol. The guy obviously bumped his own car somewhere and decided to blame u instead of taking accountability himself

As if the job isn't hard enough, you gotta deal with this as well. Thankfully you got footage!

7:44 What a pr1ck in that Range Rover!!

This kind of stuff happens all the time. Someone apparently see you hit the car, but all the time you were there, nobody came out. Happened to a friend of mine. When they reviewed the CCTV on the truck and compared it to the pictures that were sent in, the vehicle had been turned around with the damage being on the roadside. CCTV showed the car was originally parked with the damage on the footpath side. If this happens again, play along with them and ask for a statement from the alleged witnesses and then report them to their insurance and police for insurance fraud. It won't go anywhere but they'll never try that shit again and their name will permanently be placed on the insurance database for attempted fraud.

just a chancer raul bound to get it esp in the uk

Just pulling a fast one I had the same thing happened to me a few times

He parks his car against the curb, then somehow comes to the conclusion that you drove a truck around the right side of his vehicle onto the path and scraped his rear bumper yeah that checks out lol

Had someone go into the back of my moffett last year whilst I was stationary and to my surprise I couldn't even see the driver because his windscreen was icey and fogged up. I secretly started recording on my phone with him admitting the entire fault on himself. We exchanged details and I told the boss and I heard nothing about it for about 3 weeks. Then I get called into the office saying I reversed around a corner and went into the back of him lol... To his surprise the tracker showed the truck stationary for 35 minutes and I submitted my video recording and funny enough I didn't hear anything else :] Amazing what people try to shaft you when all's you're doing is trying to make a living. 😂

Scumbags like that should be reported to the police for fraud. Too much of that kind of thing goes on.

You need to tell them to send all their evidence and damages images, videos etc. Then let them go through with an attempt, then your dash cam will pick up discrepancies. You can then see on your dash cam if the damage matches that on their images and videos. If it's proofed false, then they need to push for insurance fraud. Teach them a lesson

Raul, I'm a freight forwarder based in Felixstowe. We deliver containers all over the UK. We've had loads of claims of our drivers damaging parked cars at tipping points in the north west in the last couple of years. No one had ever been proved. This type of scam seems to be a growing problem especially in the north west.

What a bunch of chancers!!! Good job you had video to support the facts and logic; Like you said, how are you meant to magically damage a side of a vehicle that you're not near? Not to mention parked facing the same way as you!? One of our old playwrights wrote: *"To thine own self be true"* Maybe the people of this business should look into what that means. (I hope you get the connection 😉) Stay lucky brother!

You can clearly see as you begin to pass the car your trailer being the flexible sort curled its back end to give the car a love tap.

Good vid and thanks for bringing awareness to this one of many issues that Drives and Truckers have to face or deal with. Definitely someone trying to fraud you or your company.. sadly this is one of the many reasons why I have left full time trucking. I’ve had similar accusations before in the past which have ended in no action towards myself but is frustrating. And when it happens in a lot of cases the driver is fully expected and has to prove otherwise, so I always suggest make sure you have a dash cam it will save your neck.

Gotta be a chancer! Some people just need confrontation in their lives to function

Bloody chancers Raul trying it on.... I had someone try the same on me. Photo's sent to my company claiming I hit them at the Britannia roundabout. The photos were obviously curb damage to the wheel rims and had dirt in the grazes showing they were done some time before. Thank goodness for cameras because my company sent them the footage and never heard anything after that!

Possibly the guy had bumped his own car and tried to make a claim against you and your company, only it backfired.

There needs to be action taken against obvious fraudulent claims its realy becoming a problem in the company i work for and it affects everyone's insurance premium

Thankfully you have a go-pro or something to prove you did nothing beyond reasonable doubt. If the accusation was made purely on whitness account it just goes to show how dangerous it can be. Don't suppose you have dash-camera at all? If not would you consider one to protect you?

Happen to me ages ago, a company in Doncaster claimed that i damaged their gate, they have videos with me hittin the gate and such. When my DA called, i told him, i don't remember anything, but i am not 100% sure that i haven t done it. On further investigation, in that day the further that i've been was Manchester :))

It's imperative to have video. The roads in England are so small, busy and in bad repair that everyone is getting bumped and angry. Keep cheerful.

Some people will try anything eh... Glad you had footage of it all.

Hi nice to see you back. I got Class 1 on containers and I think I saw you at Xpress Cambs stop. You never touched that car on your right.

Some terrible people out there.Keep trucking roul👍

Good to see the company has your back man. Well earned I say.

Hi Raul, I really enjoyed this video and I'm sorry that someone tried to spoil your day by claiming that you damaged their car . The part showing the farm delivery in a beautiful part of the country (Yorkshire?), was especially nice. Best regards from Poole (Dorset).

Something happens to people when they enter the driver's seat of a BMW, it was preplanned obviously. He came up with the plan when he blocked the road, maybe at some point forced you to park there and manoeuvres himself infront?

Get in the RaulMeister

You should report this to the POLICE.. Along with the footage..

The truth will always win. Raul is way too honest and skilful. So many bad people out there. Raul is the best and nothing to worry about. A liar like the guy trying to scam will have to prove what he claim. Raul is innocent of this.

ahh Bolton, my town. Full of scammers and chancers unfortunately.

whoever recorded that video of the front of the truck clearly has your back! sounds like a good guy

I was watching this video thinking the route looked familiar. Its low lane in Yarm-On-Tees -> Hilton like less than 10 mins away from me

Give the video footage to the Police then if he keeps on with the pretense of you hitting his car then you have the police on your side.

Brilliant video well done

What a cheek good Job you have cams 11:19

Used to get this all the time driving a Refuse vehicle. The rear compactor would make such a bang when going past cars that car owners thought we'd hit their car, some took the pee and used to try it on knowing it was from a previous bump. Now we're camera'd up all round.................

sorry to hear this happened, if you didnt have the footage it could of possibly gone differrntly and not in your favour its a real shame that people do this especially when it could of cost you alot

Raul, Are you local to Salford/Irlam area? I'm from Salford and recognize a few places. Especially the area you had that car hit you with the car dealership..

They obviously gave you a copy of the picture of the damage? It's an offense to try and commit insurance fraud?

Looks like your going through accusation stage

What’s hilarious is that a company sacked you for filming, but the irony is, they’d be begging you for the footage if a claim came in. Double standards as usual from companies. Glad you’re able to keep filming with this company

I'm going to comment before watching until the end but you didn't hit that car, you could have asked for pics of the car hit and if the truck has no damage, there is no way to have hit the car anyway

Thanks.

Damage to right hand side of car and you overtook on the left "Definitely a scammer" especially when he says he had a witness.

Thanks for posting .

Nice driving....and I wouldn't let it it bother you....even though you'll probably have this rattling round your head for ages, knowing the bugger was doing an insurance scam...What will infuriate you more is that, the bugger has lied and will probably get off scot free from the acusations.....anyway. apologies for depressing you even more!....

Nice defend with the footage

This finally convinced me to get a helmet cam in case I need to prove what happened or didn't happen while I was operating my motorcycle. I'd rather not learn the hard way

Could be a simple scam, car damaged earlier, saw an opportunity to get someone else to pay. Not very clever, with damage to his right side, truck not likely to have squeezed down the footpath. Could be a simple reaction, just seen the damage, assume it just occurred.

11:50 ,,, couldn't somebody in your office be checking and putting the farm on google? Then it's there for you ,,, or everyone. :)

Inform the police, kinda sounds like fraud, he can get into a LOT of trouble!

Glad you had the footage Raul , safe trucking mate !

You sound like the trucking version of @auditingbritain 😂

Thank you for sharing your experiences. They are very interesting !!

This happened to my sister she parked up in car park some one had been hit and the person drive off well the car that was damaged got my sister's reg phoned her insurance etc mind story short no cash cam so her insurance paid out and increased het premiums just because if so called witness n no cash cam then

Are the rules about dashcams/satnavs different for trucks? Cars are not allowed to have a screen, like we see here, on this area of the windscreen.

Nothing else happened? The weapon should be done for attempted fraud.

Do you have more videos how to operate trailer for containers? Thanks

Typically Boltonistan , worst place ever 😂

Could have been the person that said it was you that actually did the damage.

Trying to pull a fast one and claim for a prior damage already on his vehicle

8:45 I think the phrase you are looking for here is "Pulling a flanker".

Top tip Raul, get yourself a dash mount for that Nav - else you are highly likely to cop a fine for obstructing the view out the front.......fwiw I used a CD player mount for mine (R series) . I wish I was even joking.

you never hit is car not ever hes just trying get money out of you mate i see it very clear you didnt touch is car nothing

Hi Raul, great video.

Who is the knob overtaking at 7.45?!

If its the mug that blocked the road with his van then he seems the type to be a bellend

Snap a match, trouble comes in threes👍

no way! At the start of the video you was in my home town, bolton :)

Good Video,you should sue him for stress 😡

i drove this lorry in ets2

I love farms to go to I get food 100% and private homes as well in south IRELAND as well so you no Raul689 😁😁😁😁

This is very common

Are you with Maritime? I used to sub contract to them when they started doing curtainsiders, around 2011(ish)? I wondered why they did it, but you explained it well.

The car has been damaged however not on the side that you drove past him, if you did hit him the damage would of been much worse and the bang will sound really loud so it sounds like a Crash for Cash attempt which is a common insurance scam like previous comments he previously crashed it and trying to blame you for it so he can pay the car himself, sorry to hear about the issue and hope it gets resolved safely

You can see from your footage in your driver mirror, you cleared that car when pulling away by about half to 1 feet of space. No chance you hit that car.

Ive had the same mate its shit ,but thats what they do cos they see an easy claim . Passed my class 1 the other day tthx for all you post cos it helps , just got to get some experience at my place hopefully and mobe from class 2

Yeah and at the point where you would’ve hit the car with the trailer you were going straight so it would have scraped .. would have heard it lol window was open.

I'm a Dutch driver, somehow I always get the creeps when I see that left turn.😱 I don't think I can get used to that, I'll stay on the other side of the ditch! 😅

Great video Raul, and excellent driving it’s a shame there are fools about who try to exploit a large vehicle for insurance purposes. I hope he gets done for fraud and gets his insurance put up

Happen with me before when I use to deliver locally. Lucky I had a trainee with me at the time and saw what was going on, even before the incident even happened (he ended up backing me up because there was no proof on the driver side that we hit his car). Long story short, we felt nothing in the cab that could identify that we hit him or hear any scratching noises. We parked up and ready to pull the load off to deliver at a drop. Guy comes around in his car and block us in from coming out and he got out an started ranting at me for hitting his car. I explain to him that I didn’t hit his car, yet he didn’t want to have a civil conversation because he was on his phone talking to cops or his cousins whoever it was hahahaha. I inspected my truck and later to behold that there was no visible scratches, paint or fresh metal that’s on my truck that would’ve made contact with his car. At the end of it, I never heard from the insurance company up until this day. It has been 2 months now hahahaha. Insurance scammers, always be aware and always have a dash cam with you or a witness.

2:25 we can see that your cab cleared the car but your trailer looks very close. And at the point where it passes the car you dont even look in your mirror to check so we cant see how close the trailer is at that point. You show the cabs got no damage at 8:04 but its the trailer that probably hit the car.

Great vlog as always bud. You were 2 minutes away from my house for that farm delivery 👍👍

Honesty was lost a long time ago with many people, probably never had it in the first place. Thankfully there are still good people who deserve to breathe lol.

Hi Raul, what camera do you use for your videos and where do you mount it ? Thank you.

This is the 2nd time video evidence has found you innocent...You should set-up your own Dashcam or GoPro to constantly record your day behind the wheel.. I doubt the cab system is up to the task?? The quality of the Jaguar Smash wouldn't have saved you this time 🤔🤔

You have to love chancers. The world is full of them!

I see the marks on the road so easy you friend. 😁😁😁

He might have reversed into some one never know

Bet he was what u would say none Caucasian ?

cant afford his own repairs grr

What say nav do you use?

🚛👍
