Is brake checking tailgaters based or gay?

[SandyCat]

I don't do it myself but being tailgated while going 70 makes it tempting

 

[Not an Hero]

Forcing another man to slam into your ass at 70mph is pretty fuckin gay.

 

[That Nigga Link]

There's nothing gay about letting your rear get destroyed by a stranger.

 

[NH-8340]

It's only gay if the person who's tailgating you isn't driving a BMW or a lifted pickup.

Really does depend on the reason. Are you failing to maintain highway speed? Almost all States have a law called "Impeding Traffic". You don't HAVE to maintain the posted limit, but unless you have warning signs and hazards on your vehicle (like say a Big Green Tractor) then you have a lawful requirement to pull off the road and let the traffic behind you pass. The tailgating is the polite ask for you to gtfo of the way rather then laying on the horn, the impolite way. This also goes for the left lane in divided highways which is designated primarily for passing and as consequence has an implied speed limit greater then the posted. Its why cops don't pull you over unless you are going more than 10 MPH above the posted. If you going the posted limit in the left lane, you are also impeding in many states and have a lawful requirement to enter the right lane.

Now, if you are maintaining the posted speed, should you brake check? The answer is still no. Its still better to pull aside and let the idiot pass. This feeds into another issue that overly cautious drivers are ironically more dangerous then overly aggressive ones. Most rear end slams on the highway are due to a driver not maintaining the speed of traffic and causing an accordion build up behind them.

100%, there’s so many sanctimonious drivers who feel like they’re the arbiter of road rules or that they need to “teach speeders a lesson” so their solve is just to intentionally be annoying and endanger everyone including themselves, it’s lunacy.

I think in some countries the polite method is to also flick your headlights once

 

[Nicholas Gur]

Get out of the passing lane, nigger!

 

[Poppavalyim Andropoff]

their solve is just to intentionally be annoying

that's me 100%. I'll go as slow as possible just to fuck some stupid cunt tailgating.

Get out of the passing lane, nigger!

ya get faggots that love to ride your ass even in single lanes going over the speed limit.
those fucks I can't stand. fuck even the passing lane I've copped tailgaters.

 

[dick brain]

No, the based move is to take your foot off the gas until they try to pass and then speed up to prevent them from passing.

This causes accidents btw, even if you don’t like them potentially fucking up your life over their retardation isn’t worth it

You want to possibly get into a major car crash on the highway at 70mph?
