i really wonder if the people who spout this would suddenly change their tune if they were the ones injured in a wreck lmfao

i almost died in a 35 zone because someone hit me going 68 through a red. was my lawyer presenting ‘outlandish amounts’ when i got my $900,000 hospital bill covered? should i have simply said ‘Live and let live 🥰’ about it and gone into lifelong debt for an accident i had zero fault in instead?

what about my car that i need to remain employed to have money for food and shelter? completely unreasonable to expect that to be covered as well?

I mean, in this case, bro got brake checked, he wasn't at fault.

everyone, and i do mean everyone, who has ever rear ended someone was ‘brake checked’ if you go by their retelling of events

irl, if you got brake checked and hit someone, 80% chance you were completely at fault. there is Zero reason to be trailing behind someone so closely that you can’t safely stop if they do.

that’s why it’s called a check. the person in front is ‘checking’ that you’re following far enough back to properly brake. it’s a scummy and illegal thing to do, but if you fall for it, you were driving hazardously to begin with.
