Bizarre dashcam footage filmed in Sydney’s southwest has people wondering if the incident was an attempted insurance scam on an unsuspecting driver.

As the owner of the camera makes his way down Meadows Road in Mount Pritchard on Saturday, a black SUV in the left lane comes to a sudden halt after appearing to clip the gutter.

Two women can be seen hopping out of the car to inspect the damage, as the driver behind yells at them to turn their hazard lights on.

As the driver changes lanes to move around the stopped car, one woman screams “wait, wait!”.

It wasn't until a few hundred metres up the road that the encounter became even more bizarre.

A silver sedan can be seen quickly emerging on the screen before suddenly pulling into the middle of the road, blocking the driver’s path.

When the understandably confused driver yells “what’s your problem?”, the vigilante driver holding up traffic appears to respond “my wife, you hit her car”.

While attempting to film the man on his phone, the driver of the silver car forgets to use his handbrake and nearly sends his car into the next lane.

When the video surfaced online, social media users were puzzled by what happened but many were quick to dismiss any claims of a “misunderstanding”.

"Trying to setup their next insurance claim, no wonder our insurance and rego is so expensive, paying for frauds like these," one viewer suggested.

“Looks like an organised racket. How are they able to communicate to the other car to block his path so quickly,” another asked.

“She did that on purpose.. and had him waiting down the road to make it look like you did a runner and then took your rego! So glad you got dashcam footage,” one woman added.
