Times Idiot Drivers Brake Checked The WRONG PERSON!

[@boomer2095]

I am over 60 and have lived through the US and been in the military and I never heard of brake checking until maybe ten years ago and thought it was a localized joke. Why would anyone want to brake checking someone??? It makes no sense! If your in a big enough hurry to want to h around someone why then put on your brakes? It just seems stupid and dangerous

[@devilman3806]

Without a camera, the police will fault the person at the back for following too closely. The brake checked person then buys the brake checker a new car. The brake checker giggles about your insurance cost rising as they drive into the sunset.

Exactly what devil man said, it's all about fraudulent a holes looking to make what they think is a easy in and out court case pay day. These people are scum and a solid reason why I think dash cams should be mandatory and prebuilt into all cars.

[@WastedTalent-]

Years ago, on Long Island, there was an insurance scam crew that worked the parkways. One would get in front of your car, while you got boxed in by two others (the parkways had only 2 lanes on each side). The lead car would hit the brakes and you rear-ended them. This was before dash cams and you would be found at fault.

It never ceases to amaze me how many drivers will lay on the horn for 3-5 seconds, but won't hit their brakes

[@redfluxbluedawn414]

indeed, just about everybody is in the wrong here, both parties should get a ticket and when damage occured, no insurance should cover either side the first thing they teach you and/or is in your contract is to drive defensively, which isn't honking and staying close to the car, you have to create distance or pull over until the other party has gone, avoid rage, don't fuel it with illegal revenge also, you don't get brake checked for no reason, the most common reason for road rage like beheaviour is that the people intentionally slow down traffic by driving only half the speed limit or pulling out a side road just when you get there etc etc remember: we only get to see how it ends, not how both drivers got there

[@rondodson5736]

I have a lot of respect for truckers. My youngest son is a trucker. I was coming back from dropping my grandson off in St Louis and was in my personal vehicle. A trucker came up and when he wasn't clear of me came over and ran me off the road. My first thought was it is rainy, maybe he misjudged his distance or maybe he is just tired, giving him the benefit of the doubt. Then he pulled up along side of me and rolled down his passenger window and told me to pull over he was going to kick my ass. I was 6'2'', 220 pounds, ex sf and 27 years in martial arts and also worked for the highway patrol. I looked at him and told him he had better be on his way as i would guarantee he would lose this argument. He then tried to run me off the road again. That is when i decided he was going to jail. I followed him thinking i would arrest him when he pulled into a scale station. We drove about 50 miles and i saw where another trooper had a car pulled over so i stopped and walked up to the trooper, identified myself and told him what had happened. He said his partners were coming our way and radioed them, gave them the info. They radioed back and had him in sight and said they would stop him at a rest site. I told them i was on my way. They pulled him over at the rest stop and he got out all huffed up (all 120 pounds, 5'7'' of him ), and told the trooper "You guys f$# with me every time i come into this state". The trooper told him he had better calm down as he was the one who would put him in jail. He calmed down immediately. The trooper asked if he had had trouble with anyone that day. He replied no. About that time i drove up, he looked at me and started jumping up and down saying that's him, 'the guy who has been f$#ing with me. The trooper smiled and told him, "Guess what, he is one of us, you are under arrest. He was charged with two counts of careless and reckless driving and two counts of attempted homicide with a vehicle. I got in the car with the trooper writing the one report while the other trooper placed the suspect in his vehicle. When the trooper finished the report, he said i don't want to sign this re port and have to drive all the way to Jeff City to testify. I told him i would have to testify anyway so i would sign the arrest report. I waited to be told when to show up for court but was never called. He had an attorney represent him and he pled guilty to lesser charges, however the careless and reckless driving charges carried a mandatory license suspension of three years, therefore it would be three years before he could apply for a cdl license and i doubt any reliable company would hire him again. The day of the arrest i went home and called the company he worked for and told them what had happened. I also told them we left the truck in the rest area so they could send someone to pick it up. He thanked me and then said i bet i can tell you the name of the driver also. He did and he was right so i knew they had had trouble with him before.

When I have tailgaters, I am in the right lane (slow lane in the USA) with a passing lane available, I don't brake check since that would escalate. I just go about 1 to 2 mph below the speed limit as if I was stupid. Eventually, the tailgaters will race around me and be on their way, they think I am too stupid to bother "teaching a lesson". When I have a stick shift I just ride the transmission rather than doing the brakes - most people assume I am going faster and slower and not trying to piss them off. They usually get the hint and are much happier passing me and speeding away anyway. When there is no safe place to pass, they are not being dicks, and I am not in a hurry, I will pull over and let them by. I have done that with trucks especially because passing for them is a royal pain. In a couple of minutes I never see these speeders again.

Tailgating is poor driving, often a physical manifestation of a landfill mind. Who would want to interact with trash heads? What good can come from it?

That was my impression, too. In some cases, I had the impression that the driver in front wasn't actually "brake checking" but lightly activating the brakes enough for the brake lights to go on and signal "look, you're getting way too close". In some of the other cases ( including the first ones) the following vehicles did nothing to avoid a collision and took it in their stride. I don't know how other jurisdictions deal with that - in my country, a judge would likely say that both parties are at fault and order them to split the bill. In the case of "truckers standing together", a judge would probably hand down a fine to the overtaking lorry - but his colleague dealing with the ensuing crash would rate the final "accident" an intentional ramming and find the valiant trucker 100% at fault for hitting the initial culprit.

I'll admit that I've accidentally brake checked a cop. It was completely accidental because he got right up on my bumper (w/o emergency lights on) at 55 mph and I did a double tap on the brake pedal just enough to activate the brake lights. Well, the second tap put my nose down. He was getting ready to pull me over for running a red light (I entered the intersection on a yellow) and for some reason, this department limes to tailgate before initiating a pullover. Oddly enough, he never mentioned the brake check during the entire encounter.

I only ever quasi brake checked once in my life. I didn't take my foot off the accelerator, just tapped my pedal with my left foot to turn the lights on. I just started passing a car on the highway, and Mr "I Own the passing lane" was far enough back I had plenty of time, no cutting off. He purposely sped up and rode inches from my bumper to let me know he was the King here. After I touched the brakes, he got the message - in a big hurry. I don't care if you want play stupid games at 70 mph, just don't take me with you to your death.

[@merlinathrawes746]

More like a suicide wish if they brake-check a big rig and mess it up. The trucker MIGHT get some bruises, the car driver? Much, much more. Just an FYI: It take the average semi 300 FEET (a football field, goal to goal) to come to a complete stop at 60 mph in good road/weather conditions on a level roadway. That's EMERGENCY braking BTW.

[@JodyOwen-we6oo]

In general, it’s because the aggressive prick behind is following too closely. Absent a lane change followed by slamming on brakes any rear ended collision should be 100% the driver behind at fault. Here’s the thing. I drive the speed limit. You tailgate, I keep slowing down until you are at a safe following distance even if that means going 5 mph.

[@twoeightythreez]

Prople being brake checked should have the right to push the offender right off the road with no liability to them. Even if someone's tailgating doesn't give you the right to risk an accident just because you are upset at them. And no, im not one of those assholes who tailgate.

@@RobbieWebster so annoying. You could try downshifting, if you can do it smooth enough not to be obvious (by making the car buck as if you were braking).

1:30 why did the cop follow here that closely and did not change lanes to the left ?

[@MrMax4music]

Not sure of your origin but this footage certainly looks like the UK, which means you always drive on the left most lane unless overtaking a vehicle. Undertaking (passing on the left side) is against the highway code. So the car was blocking the motorway by sitting in the far right lane. The left lanes were empty so there was no need to be there. You see it happen loads, often by foreign licence holders who haven't bothered to familiarise themselves with the UK road laws. Nice to see them get pulled, its infuriating when it happens, made worse by the drivers further ignorance by brake checking the rear car.

The point is he was held up by a car that was sitting in the outside lane unnecessarily which contravenes the Uk highway code. It should have been in the left lane. To make it worse he refused to move over for the approaching vehicle, then obviously starts brake checking. He should Los his license for such disregard for other road users.

@@jotegg1276 in the UK, there is such a law. When you do your driving test, you are to know what the stopping distances are for various speeds, and what distances to leave for the car in front of you.

Happened to my sister driving alone on the highway at night, a guy on a Suzuki Alto brake checked her out of nowhere, sadly for him my sister had a really slow reaction due to having the music too loud and being distracted(im not saying that was nice tho, she should be more aware), the thing is she was draving my uncle's Ford Ranger Raptor at about 110km/h and the little car was just thrown away like a toy to the side of the road which was on a hill, as she stopped she could see the little car going down the hill and starting to roll and catch fire. For further info, shes ok, the Ford had scratches on the paint and the guy on the Suzuki almost lost his life, hes on a wheelchair for the rest of it tho. As for of insurance and things go, a biker with dash cam behind her sent the video to her, so the Suzuki Driver was proven guilty and had to pay for the paint on the Ford too. So yeah, dont brake check people.

[@petrifiedpops]

Brake checking is illegal because it is dangerous. However, it is dangerous because a majority of drivers do not follow at a safe distance and do not change lanes when there is a safe amounts of space. Hence, in a real sense, it is the driver following who is at least partially responsible.

[@firethorn9799]

Does that include when the brake checker is the one changing lanes into the following driver way too close after passing at a relatively high rate of speed then slamming on their brakes?

[@joewoodchuck3824]

Along with being obnoxious, I think many drivers actually believe that all vehicles are able to stop in the same distance as themselves.

I have to say that some of those cops that were brake checked were following way too close and deserved a brake check. And that's why I have a rear window camera as well and the judge, in two separate incidents, has twice come down on the cops and told them they were too damn close.

I never break check a Tailgater. I use my emergency flashers, which, of course, do not activate the center brake light. Also, have cams on both vehicles with a rear-facing camera.

5:07 The cammer was totally in the wrong not only in approaching the roundabout too fast to stop but also in thinking he had right of way despite the white car already being on the roundabout; he hasn't. He must give way to those already using the roundabout but couldn't due to his lack of caution when approaching. The white car should not have brake checked him but equally, the cammer bears a lot if responsibility for not slowing down. It would have have happened anyway if the car driver had braked for any obstacle as the cammer is an idiot.
