Meant to post about this a few days ago when I first saw it but forgot. It's since appeared in mainstream media and been posted over on HJ:

Woman involved in accident in which she says another car reversed into her. Driver of that car says he wasn't even in it at time as he was investigating a suspect tyre and that she drove into his stationary car.
She takes a hire car via accident management company and keeps it three years running up a bill of £400k.
Case finally gets to court and she loses.
The judge's decision is downloadable from the gazette page.
