Guys, it was a brake check—a straight assholey move. How can anyone not see that?

Also true: The pickup guy is a maniac.

I agree with you op. It just looks like the Chrysler just slowed down to not get too close. I wish they would go after the pick up truck

Now I know why there are so many shitty drivers in this area - they're immune to their own dangerous driving. Yes the pickup driver was worse, but the Chrysler was very obviously wrong and dangerous too. How you two don't see that... I'm speechless.

No way, he slows down way more than necessary you can see how the car in front of it gets much further ahead. Both cars were playing stupid games. The truck was worse.

I don't see it honestly. But then again I am hardly ever in the left lane.

The Chrysler driver intentionally slams on the brakes to send a message to the pickup truck, you can see how the cars in front pull further ahead of the Chrysler. That's a dumb move designed to send a message to the pickup behind. Not sure what not being familiar with the left lane has to do with it this can happen in any lane. Two bad drivers found each other on this day and nearly caused an accident. Instead of sending messages, just get out of the way of aggressive drivers. But instead, the Chrysler aggressively tries to get back into the left lane after being forced over. You can't say that person was innocently just slowing down to create space between his car and the one in front after watching the rest of the video.

I’ve seen worse.

Notice how the Chrysler weaves in and out including passing on the right after the initial encounter? Morons. Morons all.

fine people on both sides

The pick up truck was way more dangerous (and I’m not disputing that break checking is dumb and dangerous.)

Here’s the vdot tweet if you dont want to sit thru the nbc ads

Brake checks are a dime a dozen. Dumb but typical

Passing on the shoulder is really bad and then being too dim to realize it’s merge situation

Brake checking is the ultimate asshole move. It’s dangerous. People, please stop.

I don't think you know what brake checking is. It's incredibly dangerous, and is evident in the video. It's also what Bijan Ghaisar is alleged to have done to the uber driver.

Both drivers are wrong in this situation you posted, but the Chrysler is by no means innocent. If you do what they did, you're a crappy and dangerous driver.

Only in America
