From Selfie To Hero

I was sitting in my car making some photos with my new smartphone while using different settings. Then there was this woman who just stopped at an one way street with only one lane. So she stands there for like 10 seconds doing nothing. I thought to myself, this is very unusual… so I started to make a video. Another driver comes and honks. Shen then proceeds to reverse and hit the car of the other guy with her big BMW. Four guys jumped out of the BMW and start yelling at the guy.

You have to know in Germany always the one who hits another car from behind will be blamed if he can’t prove that it wasn’t his fault. So we have a classic insurance fraud.

The poor guy at the back was really worried cause he knew he couldn’t prove it. I just sit there in my car and waited for the police. Then I go outside and the police started to get the stories, of course they were four against one.

I just stood there and listen the woman complaining about who this idiot hits her from behind and her brand new car is now damaged.

After the police took the statement from both sides and even take my statement they said there is no chance that two vs four could proof that he didn’t do it.

Two of the guys who were in the BMW had even told police they didn’t know the girl and were pedestrians who happened to see it. That would increase the credibility.

So they made all false statements to the police and exactly that’s the thing I wanted to happen. I than told the police “Oh, wait there is just one thing…” like Colombo style and said that I got a video of what happened. I showed them to the police and the women and the drivers just stand there with mouth open. You could not only see how she reverses into his car but also that the “pedestrians” where with the women in the car.

The guy then hugs me and we became good friends. Turns out he lives near me and we spend the evening drinking and gaming. While they had to take up what happened with the police.
