The "no criminal history" says more to me than a record of traffic convictions. Also, I note that no mention was made of any collisions noted in his driving record. That too would be more relevant in this matter than speeding or license plate convictions, regardless of number.

On his youtube video he says he didn't say that.
Oh good grief - you're saying he has his vehicle registered at a different address than where he lives? My my. Now, how often does that question come up here and where people here suggest that riders HERE do so in order to get cheaper insurance? Are you suggesting that riders here on this forum have, in your words, "a culture and disposition to scam"?
And here we go with "culture" being thrown into the mix again. Reading the various comments on 4chan and RFD, many seem to based their conclusions on the racial background of the driver.
Everyone, who commits criminal acts, must be caught a first time. In the case of traffic or insurance fraud I would expect a large number of traffic tickets accumulated to be possible, prior to a first criminal conviction. The younger you are, the statistically less likely you are to have received that first criminal charge.
Additionally, if he does indeed live at an address other than the one on his driver's license and insurance state, he could be looking at insurance fraud.
Gallileo was once considered a troll, oops, I mean heretic, pushing against the common wisdom. I'm not Gallileo, but flat-earthers still abound.
That he is at fault for the crash is not at issue. He is.
That he tried to get $500 fromn Sham is not at issue. He probably did, and that would be consistent with him believing that he was the one who was hit and not the other way around. Him calling the police himself supports this apparent but mistaken belief. He wouldn't be the first to honestly believe he was not at fault for a crash, nor will he be the last.
What is at issue is motivation. There is too much leaping to conclusions that fall contrary to logic and available facts.
Are you suggesting that many tickets are an indicator of poor character, here, in this forum? And here I thought you all believed tickets were all about revenue generation.
This brings Gallileo to mind again. He was the troll who tried to spin a theory to convince everyone that the world was round. Funny how things change. Or not.

Yes, I would definitely say that someone that lies on his insurance record has a disposition to be a scammer, it is illegal, deemed as fraud, don't you?
When I say culture, I am not talking about nationality, I am talking about values imposed at home. English is my 4th language, sometimes is a challenge finding the right word. The culture definition has more to do with education that with nationality
R1timmay is a white guy and I think he is a scammer, so let's put the racism card back into the bag of tricks

only speedtraps, and seatbelts, my trollish friend. those are the only 2 i have issues with, as i have stated numerous times
Amen.
There is sufficient evidence that Ragu.... is 100% at fault for the collision. This, the insurance companies are evidently already dealing with.
What Ragu... said to the police in that phone call, was almost certainly recorded by the police. The contents of that conversation are not known in public at this point, but if there is anything in there like "I just got hit from behind" or "Some guy is recording me with a camera" then there is no need to rely on lip reading or any such thing - his goose is cooked, all we (collectively - those of us who are paying exorbitant insurance rates thanks to rampant insurance fraud) have to hope for is that the police do a proper investigation.
Beyond that ... it is well beyond time to let things take their course.
I have NEVER agreed with the various racist comments and related vindictiveness that have been expressed in this case. On this point I actually (cough cough) ummm (cough) agree with Turbodish. A lot of people could be inviting prosecution for what they've been saying.
My own opinion is that he's a scammer but this is from not only this incident but also what others have turned up about him. That this incident on its own could have been due to carelessness or sloppiness is not in dispute - it could have gone down that way. I don't think that's the way it went down, Turbodish evidently does think that's the way it went down. So be it.
Does anyone know if an Acura TSX has a bulb-failure warning lamp on the instrument panel? (My car does and a lot of others do)
Something a little odd about putting the car in nutral when in stop and go traffic. I can understand at a red light when you're going to be stoped for a while but in traffic I don't think I ever thought of doing that, plus it's just one more thing to do while driving in traffic. Would be very fustraiting to go back and forth from nutral and first every time they stopped every few seconds.
It's a manual transmission car. You don't put it in neutral, you don't even touch the gear shift lever. You just push in the clutch and you have the same effect as being in neutral in an automatic.
Riders in particular should know what this is all about. It's not the best habit, but how many riders sit at a traffic light or in stop and go traffic with the clutch lever pulled, but neither rear or front brake applied? Same thing, except on a bike you would know almost instantly if you were to start rolling back on an incline.
I just think that before people go out to try and destroy another person's life, that the evidence be much more compelling than what is at hand now. "Could" have been a scam is not sufficiently compelling.

I do it all the time..gets frickin tiring and sore when you're off and on the clutch for 20 mins in traffic..not that odd.

I believe he simply unplugged the rear harness so it could be quickly re-connected to show it works.
The guy has a customized car with plenty of accessories that he takes good care of, no way does he have all his bulbs burned out.
You can always find one fool that will try to make an excuse up in defence, but in this case, he's caught red handed, it couldn't be any more clear or obvious.
I know of another guy that likes to pull scams and lie too, yet when confronted in person, he backpedaled faster than a chinese circus performer also. :lol:
This thread could have ended on page 3 if we didn't have a giant robot troll making an argument against the sky being blue.
