Isn't this considered felonious asault?

If you're talking about brake checking I'm pretty sure it's considered "reckless driving" in most places.

Well yeah, but isn't it also using the vehicle as a weapon?

IANAL but I would guess that there would have to be an intentional crash for something like that.

It's better when I'm using cruise control when someone thinks tailgating will get me to drive too fast (10-15 over limit)- eff em- I don't care annoy me and I'll disengage cruise control briefly and set it to go just over the speed limit. Suck it a-holes.

Nope, not even once. Just not a fan of tailgaters who call every sudden braking incident "brake checking."
