also this is video proof why tailgating is 1000 worse than brake checking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ewu2P8UhQO8

what does this show us?

tailgating means you cannot see what is on the road and react to it timely causing massive wrecks

meanwhile brake checking is easily in your control as the car behind the car by following at a safe distance

1. Nobody said tailgating wasn't bad
2. That video also wasn't an example of brake checking.

You're arguing against points that nobody has said.

Correct. Brake checking is not a proper response however. Simply move lanes.

Without tailgaters, break checking wouldn't even be a concept.

maybe, maybe not, but tailgaters don't always do it on purpose. can't say the same about brake-checking, which introduces a stupid and dangerous element to the road solely for the sake of proving a point.
And some times people have to hit the brakes for a legitimate reason and when tailgaters are behind them they cause excessive damage which introduces a stupid and dangerous element to the road solely for the sake of being stupid and dangerous.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I honest to God can't believe some people think that just following too closely behind the car in front of you is worse than slamming on your brakes and potentially causing a massive and fatal accident.

I thought at first it might be trolling but just... holy fuck. Some people legit shouldn't be allowed to drive and need their license revoked.

the funniest is when you going the speed limit in middle lane and both lanes beside you are open and someone comes riding up your tail

then after few mins they realize you aren't speeding up and they grudgingly have to get over into another lane sigh yi eyeee

but here is the real kicker, when you don't tailgate....you basically never notice anyone brake checking because there is plenty of lanes

you just get over if the car in front is slow and pass them

if your road has no lanes then you just need to get over it and be patient

people who tailgate care

because brake checking rarely matters when there is no tailgaters

if someone going super slow and brake checking people honestly going massively under the speed limit is actually the worse part and the only way they are getting to be able to brake check people

meanwhile when everyone goes a normal speed, and safe distances there is literally no brake checking
it can't happen

The thing is, alot of what people think is brake checking isn't, because you are tailgating.

I don't think it is right to slam your brakes to cause an accident, but you are the one letting the tailgater free of their blame causing the situation were a simple brake makes an accident.

It's because he's already been told a dozen different times and he's just fishing for a different response so he can continue arguing points that nobody has made.

Brakechecking is road rage. There are laws against it and it has a specific definition. Posting videos of people using their hazards and signaling doesn't mean that brakechecking isnt still a very real crime. We can go on and on about this but WoG has demonstrated multiple times in this topic that he doesn't actually read posts before responding and is only concerned with combating strawmen.

No one ever said how you can get brake checked if you followed at a safe distance.

I did not ask if brake checking is a crime or not.

You can't answer how someone following safely can be brake checked?

Why choose to remain ignorant about legit sudden braking? Happens all the time and usually isn't an issue...so long as nobody is tailgating.

https://www.habbaspilaw.com/dealing-with-tailgaters-dangers-of-brake-checking/

Courts generally see tailgating as a greater offense than brake-checking. Tailgating creates an unsafe environment, and brake-checking is typically a response to tailgating, even though this behavior is also dangerous.

In all my years of driving I have never even witness a legitmate brake checking accident. I have seen tailgaters slam into other cars that had to brake because the 5 guys ahead of them had to suddenly stop.

Gonna wager this is the same with almost all you users as well.

So weird that there are people that legitimately think brake checking is worse than tailgating.

Road rage is bad, but people non-maliciously brake quickly every fucking day. It's not going to (generally) cause an accident if people aren't riding bumpers.

Tailgating is always wrong.

It's not a smart move but also, if you tailgate, it's your fault.

That's not just an opinion (at least where I live) either. Doesn't matter why the person in front brakes, not even if they're just brake checking. If you don't leave enough distance or fail to stop safely, you're legally responsible.
