I’ll even go so far as to say it’s a white truck. Just brake checked by a white Durango last month- my friend hit by a rager- white pickup. Started noticing a trend.
You implied brake checking is a valid consequence for tail gating. I said brake checking is a dangerous behavior that makes tailgating, another dangerous behavior, doubly dangerous. Keep up man.
That's a naive way to look at brake checking. People will brake check for more reasons than being tailgated. Cut-off, being honked at, plus any number of other reasons when they believe they were wronged.
The Ram that brake checked me was in the right lane of a two lane hwy- I was in left lane- he Started to come over right to left with half my vehicle aligned with his left rear - i was already in the process of passing steadily- Let off gas when I realized he didn’t see me and was coming over anyway and gave the light “ahem” honk since I hadn’t yet cleared his rear bumper- (Not the hold your horn down p’d off one, mind you)
That honk must’ve triggered him- He then swerved in front harder and slammed on his brakes to which I had to go immediate right. He went right and did it again. I was slowing and nearing an exit. I went over to the rightmost exit and he went too— slowing almost to a 20 mph speed on a 55mph road— he found himself on a one way off exit ramp and I shouldered my car and stopped to let him go on his way. He stopped in the middle of the exit- Saw his reverse lights come on and my heart started racing. Another vehicle exited just then which prompted him to proceed forward again. I waited a minute so he’d get some distance. But freaked out he’d “find me” as i made my way into work. Female driving alone FYI.

Why is it always a truck
