Drivers are being warned of a new scam involving mopeds deliberately driving at oncoming traffic.
New figures suggest around 2,250 people in London have been victim of the scam in the past two years.
Many of the suspected fraudsters are believed to be couriers delivering items such as takeaways.
They are mainly targeting drivers in North London’s most affluent areas.
Ursula Jallow, Director at Insurance Fraud Bureau, said: “Crash for cash moped scams have become epidemic in our capital.
“These dangerous fraudsters are driving head-first into unsuspecting motorists, leaving countless victims terrified and insurers facing millions of pounds in bogus claims.”
