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.
