[QUOTE="Larry Morgan, post: 1608979, member: 4676"] Nowhere in my post did I say tailgating was the bee's knees, either. However, if there is someone tailgating you like crazy, they are probably already mad/annoyed. Brake checking them is only going to make them more mad and more likely to do something crazy/stupid/dangerous, which is why I consider it worse than tailgating. Rather than trying to get into a contest of "I'm right, your wrong" with someone, why not ignore them, then let them get over when you have a chance. I get tailgated plenty, especially in rush hour traffic, but no way will I ever brake check them. Especially since I'd rather not find out through metal to metal contact whether or not they were actually good enough of a driver to slow down or paying attention. Moreover, the very nature of tailgating is considered dangerous because there is little buffer room for the driver behind to react in case of a rapid speed change of the driver in front. What do you do being the front driver? Brake check to rapidly change your speed! Just like adding fuel to the fire. How is that ever a good idea? (Unless you are talking about the types where people just tap the breaks enough to make the brake lights come on, in which case you might as well write "please don't tailgate me" on the back of your car, since they will both accomplish the same amount) [/QUOTE]
