It's a sign that you drive too slow and people are just trying to get past you.

I troll for rear end crashes, I've made out pretty well on two so far and I'm always up for a third. I drive just a tad above the speed limit in the right side lane. If you're tailgating me in a nicer vehicle (and they're all nicer than the 03 Camry that I'm currently driving) I'm going to brake check you. And if you're not paying attention, you're going to hit me, and be at fault. Then your insurance company will be making my lawyer a settlement offer. Then I get paid, and your rates go up.

This will work really well right up until you do this to someone who is even more unhinged than you sound. But at least you'll have your insurance payout to help with the bills after you get a TBI from them clubbing you with a tire iron. Or when you misjudge your little brake checking stunt and end up being nudged into a jersey barrier or spun into a tree.

You're really sick.

You could even get charged with dangerous driving if they have a dashcam.

This is a problem in many places. A lot of people just suck.

lol Between the slow left lane hogs that refuse to switch lanes, the not knowing how or when to merge, the full stop until green on red lights while making a right turn, and the not knowing how to use a flashing red light or 4 way stop signs or roundabouts, it seems as though it is an endless amount of seriously bad drivers here, only.

OP here - I agree with all of the above. It's amazing how many people passed their driving test exam. The written part of the test should be made much tougher, identical to the European standards. In other words, you should study and study hard in order to pass.
I am also astonished at people such as the "rear-end troll" above who are willing to kill others and themselves fore insurance payout.
Narcissistic personality disorder should be classified as serious mental health disorder.

I think aggressive drivers are addicted to adrenaline, much like drug addicts.

I followed a woman in a Subaru this afternoon, on Falls Rd headed toward Bullis. She kept trying to pass the car in front of her, but it’s a single lane in each direction, and lots of curves. Near the golf course, she started flashing her lights at the person in front of her, trying to make them go faster. The person in front of her was going the speed limit.

To my surprise she turned into Bullis. She was a lacrosse mom with two kids in the car. Great role model there.

Insurance companies look at this situation, first thing - when assessing both the damage and the brands/years of cars involved. It is a common scam, and the insurance company has a direct monetary interest in finding people just like you, PP. It's called insurance fraud, and it is a federal offense. But then again, you don't seem very bright, so you reap what you sow.

Insurance companies go based off the police report and 100% of the time the cops are going to cite the person in the back who is following way too closely. Even if you have a dash cam video all it’s going to show is you tailgating the driver in front of you.

I wouldn’t brake check anyone in my safe, modern Euro SUV (let alone a 15yo Camry like the PP), but you tailgaters who think the cops are going to do some CSI-worthy accident reconstruction are in for a rude awakening.

Not California.

Cars don't move on the highway in California.

If you're going the speed limit and keeping acceptable following distance, you will still hit the car in front of you if they slam their brakes hard for no reason.

You don't need CSI accident reconstruction to see that the person in front was driving dangerously, and then it's a question of whether it was a deliberate attempt to defraud or they are "just" a totally incompetent driver.

Insurance companies love dashcam footage and will absolutely accept it if you have it.

Also, lol @ 20:24 dope who claims brake checking is a federal crime.

If you plow into the person in front of you because they slam on the brakes (even if it’s intentional) you are following too closely for the vehicle you’re in, end of story. A dashcam video will show you following too closely and rear-ending the driver in front of you.

It is not 100%, that is what you do not understand. Video will win this one. Actually, cops rely on video for almost everything these days. Have you been under a rock for the last decade, or two or more?

I thought I saw a deer running into my path so I hit my brakes negates any claim of fraud.
