ICBC (local government insurance) broke up an insurance fraud ring awhile ago. Get someone to brake with the intent of getting rear-ended while another car blocked the other lane so the "victim" couldn't lane change. Then they all file for whiplash (always 4 guys in car) and pocket a quick $10K each.
Last I heard they were all being sued for return of the money, along with facing fraud charges.

That is a good thing to hear...where abouts was this ring operating at?
On a funny note...my neighbor had an experience (it wasn't an organized instance of this) where a woman slammed her brakes for no reason and he rear ended her. She then ran across the street on a divided highway
(Berlin Turnpike where at the time people used to street race) to a phone and called the police. She then ran back to her car, sat down and said she couldn't move her neck and tried to sue him/his insurance company. Obviously she didn't get a dime but my friend had to really fight it to not get stuck with the bill.

That's roid rage...not road rage, even more messed up is that a dude in a bodybuilding competition needed to run and grab a gun when the guy he thought was weak insulted him...why not just hit him with his fist like a man over a dumb quarrel of words? Probably because when you punch someone who juices in their eye it swells shut monstrously lol. Irony.

I know, and this is better
I wouldn't exactly classify a meat head shooting an unarmed weakling when it wasn't even an opportunity thing as better...I mean he literally had to run away to get his gun to prove something...and it was about saying he is tough...that is why he let him live and shot him in the knee...because he wanted to see him suffer which apparently he thought wasn't possible with his fists even though he said the dude couldn't lift a coke bottle.

Had something similar happen to me in the early 90's in Houston. Only difference is when the guy got out of the car he was carrying a baseball bat. I exited my vehicle and he decided he didn't want to play anymore when he saw the Colt .45 auto in the right hand and the badge in the left. He ended up getting to play with Houston PD instead.

Which beckons a question...do these people wait to leave their state to act up...or are they equally engaged in the art of douchbaggery when at home?

Now that I think about it. I had my brights on cause I couldn't see crap one night and this dude in front of me got so mad he threw cans back at me but I didn't get mad I started laughing. I had a Ford Escort back then. I have a 350Z now I probably wouldn't laugh then. I need to get some cool stuff to throw back at people.

I used to keep paint balls in my Jeep in college to toss at other drivers.

Little marble sized soft balls of vegetable oil dyed in various colors- washes away with water- used as ammo in paint ball guns.
They pop on impact.
