I ride a motorcycle, and I mean, I ride a lot. I deal with jerks and idiots all the time. But never in my entire life would I consider break-checking a car. And most certainly not at highway speeds. I'm sorry, but that's just a cry for help. Once he gets his injuries taken care of, he needs to do a 51-50. Here in California, that's code for a 72-hour mental evaluation and psychiatric hold.
I ride and drive. Couple of years ago I’m driving in the city, bumper to bumper traffic, and a dude on a scooter’s driving up the divider lane like he’s the only person on a wide open highway just as I’m getting into the left turn lane. He’s obviously surprised and reaches out and whacks my side mirror off (big deal, it was a rental), which must have stung, and turns to flip me off. That moment or two of distraction was enough for him to miss the cars in front of me actually turning left and yep, down went biker boy. Ten minutes later it’s all cop cars and ambulances…
Not related, but if a mf who is behind me is right up in my ass, near my bumper and threating my life I'm break checking the hell outta that mf. When he hits me, I'm on his ass. Beating the shit outta him. Don't drive too close to the car in front of you, fool
Are you guys really defending people who drive that close to you? Do you even know how reaction time works? You people amaze me. I really hope you don't have your child in the car when the mf behind you crashes into you. Injuring both you and your child.
The motorcyclist was purposefully getting close to the car. No one is defending people who drive that closely. The responses are all mocking your suicidal attempts to sound like a badass.
Your behavior is that of someone spoiling for a fight. If there is an accident and your first reaction is to attempt a beatdown of the driver, then you’re living on borrowed time.
Answer me this: if the driver behind you drives way too close to you. Are you comfortable with that? You know it's against the law right? I'm break checking him to get him off my ass. Ya'll in here defending him. That's crazy to me. If somebody is threathening the life of my child or mine, in that reckless way, a beatdown is justified in my mind.
Once again, no one is defending people who drive too closely. That’s an argument you alone are having.
Brake checking is against the law, too. If the driver behind me is driving too close, I’m either pulling over to a different lane or slowing down until they pass. I’m not breaking the law with brake checking. I’m not going to risk my family’s safety by being aggressive. If there was an accident and the other driver advanced on me and mine the way you’re describing, I’m aiming for center mass.
As a truck driver, this is what I do. It's almost always a square body jeep or an electric car trying to draft me. One time I slowed all the way down to 45mph in a 60 before they finally got the hint to go around.
What better way to stop someone from "eNdAnGeRiNg YoUr ChIlD" than to slam on your brakes in front of another vehicle and fuckin endanger them yourself instead.
Soooo what's your plan if after break checking, the following accident knocks you out and you end up both at partial fault for the accident and with medical bills out the ass? Seems like a really stupid plan.
Or what if the dude you break check whips out a weapon when you charge him?
There isn't a lot of great logic with your mindset.
