In St. Petersburg there is a married couple of car dealers who cheated on drivers and insurance companies, and in 3 years they managed to get 8 million rubles. It’s about “Business Petersburg” said Head of the VSS working group, Mikhail Yanenko-Bazanov, SES vice president of AlfaStrakhovanie JSC NWRC.
According to Yanenko-Bazanov, more than 40 accidents involving a pair of car carriers were recorded at various insurance companies. Often, the husband acts as the victim, choosing a situation where, despite the opportunity to avoid an accident, the other driver did not maneuver quite correctly (usually at a roundabout) and collided with him.
If there is no video recording or witness statement, traffic inspectors find the person responsible for the accident, which had to give way again. Most of these accidents occur in the north of the city. Car dealers use expensive used premium foreign cars to repair.
“One accident of this “family contract” was nevertheless recorded using a special camera. Then the insurance company conducted a video whitepaper and refused to pay the applicants. But that was only once. In all other cases, the accident always occurred where there were no cameras. And unfortunately in St. Petersburg there are not as many as in Moscow. And scammers take advantage of this, ”said Yanenko-Bazanov.
