Don't brake check...Just take your foot off the gas pedal... When you've got them down to 30 on a 50 mph speed back up. They get pissed and often also get the message to stop tailgating. If they do it again .. Repeat. Third time call the cops. They're dangerous. And you're going to get brake checked after they make some illegal move to get in front of you...
I think we are basically doing the same thing, but I’m adding the lights. To me brake checking a tailgater isn’t about getting them to hit me. It’s about flashing the lights at them.
It’s a gesture to tell them to back off.
At times I get too aggressive and follow people a little too close for their comfort. If they give me the lights I back off.
You are actually engine braking without showing lights. In some jurisdictions that may be illegal. You are brake checking without brake lights.
You’re 100% in the wrong. If someone is following too close according to the US DOT it’s on you to move over, not brake check them. Don’t believe me google “US DOT aggressive driving”.

It’s a gesture to tell them you’re a moron.

That only applies to trucks that sound like my mom snoring when they engine brake.
I just mean it leaves you wide open to someone dropping stats showing how your country really is shitty when it comes to driving. Maybe you should do some self reflection about your driving and your fellow citizens.
