AAAHHH! Fell for the rear shunt manoeuvre

Hi,
I can't believe it, but I've just fallen for this trick, which seems to be a speciality of a certain section of the community. I approached a large roundabout at about 7.15pm tonight, traffic very quiet. He slowed, then moved off, I look left to check its clear and when i look back, he's stopped.

No cars coming round the roundabout!! Small impact!! I gave my details and said I would pay for the damage (slight) but to be honest I'm convinced it was already damaged, there's hardly a mark on RJ. I got my camera out of the car and took some pic's but the reaction from the blokes was unbelievable!! Hoods over their faces, threatening to stick the camera where it hurts etc.

They really are a valuable addition to our society!!! I've already had a similar experience were they claimed whiplash even though there was no impact. I await the outcome with interest. I'll keep you posted.

Regards
