Whenever somebody is doing something dumb in your car, swerving or hitting the breaks to throw them around and prove your point.

Sounds like decent way to apply for a Darwin Award.

Dont fuck around in cars.

I thought you meant, like, brake checking someone. That's a great way to get rear ended if you really want to. What you're talking about? Sure, as long as there aren't other people around you.

The only "point" you make by unnecessarily wearing out your suspension components and brakes sooner is paying more money out of your pocket to fix them. God forbid you hit someone and your problems are then magnified tenfold.

Only ever brake checked one guy, was a couple months ago, he had his high beams on and kept getting behind me no matter what lane I went to. He was in a Jeep, I was in a sedan and he was right up behind me.

Got so fucking frustrated, definitely went hard on the brakes and then sped off to get away from that situation.

But in general I hate road rage and don't think people should do that unless there's no alternative.

I tap my brakes repeatedly rather than brake check them. I let them pass if there's room. Then I tailgate them with my brights on and lay on my horn. Until they can outrun me.

How exactly does it "prove a point?"
I could see it applying some revenge or punishing them for something but not really proving anything unless you were specifically discussing inertia and it literally does serve as evidence to support your specific point about objects in motion..

Im not talking about other drivers. I mean like...Hitting the brakes or swerving to fuck with passengers in your own car.

Say you tell someone not to do X, because if you wrecked it would be bad. Maybe theyre sitting a funny way, or just not wearing a seat belt. So you swerve or break in order to prove your point, by throwing them around a bit from the sharp change in momentum.

i would never do it but tailgaters deserve much worse imo. tailgaters are some of the biggest idiots on the road

If you drive at a decent speed, you don't need to worry about tailgaters.

If there's room on another lane, I change suddenly and slam the brakes, letting them pass me, and then quickly get behind them so they can't try to get behind me again.

Also, if pressing the brakes when they are behind you is bad, what is the advise if your street on which you have to turn is coming up? Take the turn at high speed, without slowing down?

This is a lie. Sometimes you're already going over the speed limit, but that's not enough for some people.

What I've noticed around where I live is that the people who drive like maniacs tend to drive otherwise slow 4-cylinder engines.

Just last night some guy in a CLA apparently didn't want to drive at the posted speed in a residential area downtown, so he rockets past me and the other guy in front of me in a one-lane road.

tail gating wouldnt be a thing if idiots realized the speed limit is not a speed suggestion.

one idiot thinks 5 over is acceptable. the next idiot thinks 10 over is fine.the next one thinks 15 or stay home. fuck all these fools.

Yea but in this scenario, it's a passenger. So, you're slamming the brakes to fuck with them. I would like to think that you'd know your passenger enough to know not to fuck with them if they're packing.

As someone who lived on Long Island, NY and now live in Denver, CO I've learned to just ignore what's going on behind me. It's the most alpha move, just go slow and don't check your rear view.

My car needs extensive work at the body shop, assuming it's not actually totaled.

Don't tailgate. You don't know if something or someone is going to pop up on front of the car in front of you. Always imagine that the car in front of you is going to hit the brakes at any time. Can you avoid hitting it? If not, you are too close.
