OP PM'd me his car details, and unfortunately his car is a little too old for me to help him.

Short version, I would have had OP tell ICBC that someone is going to read out his EDR (event data recorder) which he believes will show a vehicle speed of 0 and foot applied to the brake at the time of the impact and for a couple seconds before. This would prove the other vehicle backed into him. That would really perk up ICBC's ears. Only in this case it wouldn't be a bluff since OP would have someone who could do this for him (namely, me).

I'm against lying to ICBC, fake witnesses or fraud to try and win your case. But I'm not against "bending the rules" a little if it means some scammer gets caught.

To the rest of RS, no, I'm not going to start scanning everyones vehicle who contacts me (I can't abuse my access to this ability). I just happen to know someone who had this happen a little while ago, and felt compelled to offer any help in this case.

Sorry OP, good luck.
