Long considered one of the nation’s more dignified victimless crimes, insurance fraud remains a treasured pastime for Australian battlers doing it tough in a system rigged for the rich. And for one proud son of the Central Coast, the game is well and truly on.
Dylan Anderson, a 32-year-old gentleman from Kincumber, is today standing firm in the face of growing allegations that he ruined a set tyres while performing unauthorised motorsport in the backstreets of his beloved patch. He maintains the destruction of his Dunlop Sport Maxxes occurred while innocently commuting on the M1, where a rogue scrap metal spill has already prompted over 1 000 tyre damage claims in recent days.
“This is fucked,” said Anderson.
“I was on my way to mum’s at Gosford. Doing a respectable 119 kays. If you’ve driven that cunt of a road, you’d know that’s being well behaved. Then bang. Metal. Not cause I was giving it the full beans round the roundabout at Avoca like they [unknown at this time] reckon. That’s defamation.”
While drone footage and multiple Snapchat stories appear to capture Anderson deliberately hanging the arse out of his dunnydore across a local industrial estate, he claims the videos are “AI”.
Insurers are growing increasingly suspicious of claims linked to the M1 spill, with one spokesman noting a trend of “clearly pre-existing burnout damage being attributed to a minor road hazard”.
Dashcam vision reviewed by the truck’s insurance company shows a man matching Anderson’s description yelling as smoke billows from the rear end of a Jim-Beam-White Holden Commodore outside a hardware shop.
Anderson has vowed to appeal the rejection of his claim, telling The Advocate he will be “taking this all the way to ACA or the fucken Ombudsman or both, the cunce.”
More to come.
