Video: Elderly uncle caught on dashcam tossing himself onto car in failed scam

More shenanigans on the road involving folks intentionally jumping onto cars in an effort to claim monetary compensation in pretend damages. 

Like a honed actor worthy of a Razzie Award, this old uncle ran onto the path of a car, jumped on its hood and tumbled down dramatically. If commotion was his goal, it was commotion he got when multiple passersby came rushing down to help the old man. Watch the whole stunt captured on dashcam, and uploaded on the Beh Chia Lor Facebook page. 

A typical ruse all too common in China, Taiwan and the rest of the region, it’s no longer considered a clever con anymore these days in the age of affordable dashboard cameras. The dramatic uncle won’t have any luck making dramatic claims — all that’s needed to refute his allegations is just one single video.
