Unless I slam on my brakes intentionally for that person to hit me and get killed. I was simply showing my brake lights, pretty much equal to letting the gas off.
i love how people are just assuming bullshit here and there and act like god. This cop was riding my a$$ period! and I didnt like that fact and wanted him to back off BEFORE he somehow hits me. Well, at the time i didnt even know he was a cop, thought it was some a$$hole messing around or in a very hurry.
I have been driving since 1998 and I have never been in a two car accident before. Only accident I have ever been was this "minor" sliding into a curb deal adn I havent had a single ticket for the last 4 years. I think it is pretty damn safe to say, I am safe driver.
If the car in front of you is doing 75 how are you doing 80? Regardless brake checking is stupid thing to do, If he had hit you and you would've been the one in trouble because you brake checked him. I'm not assuming bullshit, I'm reading what you wrote and putting it all together. There's no bullshit in my message, I merely pointed out what you did that was completely idiotic and dangerous to you and everyone around you. What did you expect to accomplish by brake checking the guy behind you? Obviously you just pissed him off that much more. How much easier would it had been to just ignore him and move over when you could? Let the person in front of you deal with the stress. It's hard for me to believe that if you're doing 75 - 80 down the highway someone wouldn't have let you over to the right lane if you had your blinker on. You then could've slipped right back behind him after he passed you.
