Woman's somewhat inept attempt at faking being hit by car caught on dashcam

A pedestrian has staged an absurdly far-fetched attempt to fake a collision, allegedly in a bid to get compensation. Dashcam footage from Hubei province, China, shows the woman hatch her plan and then carry it out in the least convincing manner possible.





As a car approaches the middle-aged lady, she casually steps out on to the road and slowly gets to her knees before lowering herself cautiously to the bitumen. The motorist eases to a halt some distance in front of the prone pedestrian.





But the woman did not give up after her initial ploy failed, and she stood-up and walked closer to the vehicle to have another crack. Directly in front of the car’s bonnet, the scam artist made some sort of hand gesture to the driver before again gradually lying on the ground in front of the car.

She lay motionless for several seconds before peeping over the front of the car to see if this attempt has convinced the motorist of a collision. There has apparently been an increasing trend of people in China trying to cheat the system by faking accidents.
