Listen, I never braked "hard". I lightly tapped my foot on the break, my car didnt even slow down 1mph. If she has to slam her brakes then thats her problem, maybe she shouldnt follow so closely. I didnt want her shitty cobalt buried in my trunk.
I'm not totally sure the law supports your theory. At least, if it can be proven that your brake checking was the cause of an accident.
I support your initial confrontation with Big Mama. However, I know in some places brake checking is illegal, so you might not want to do that as a common practice to mess with tailgaters. Also, each time you use the word "break" it makes my blood pressure go up.
I've met plenty of people who, for whatever reason, have said that they're "supposed" to end up in the right-hand lane when making a left turn onto a two-lane road. Their reasoning? Because ending up in the left-hand lane is too sharp a turn.
I once had a woman in front of me (we were both turning left) go into the right lane as I went into the left. She then swerved straight into my car in an attempt to make a left turn (yes, from the right-hand lane) onto a side street. Good times were had by all.
It does. If she were to have rear-ended him the accident would be her fault. In any instance, if a driver rear-ends someone else, they are guilty of "Failure to Reduce Speed to Avoid an Accident". As such, tailgating is for losers.
Would you give me a brake and let these guys break check as much as they want?
