What would be the legal position, say if a pedestrian was hit by a driver whilst on a mobile phone? What’s to stop pedestrians or other drivers deliberately throwing themselves on to moving vehicles/crashing into drivers who can be seen on their mobile phones, and then faining some kind of whiplash/injury and claiming compensation? (UK only please)
