Do you serve up the brake check when Mr. SUV is riding your buttocks? Let all of us know what you think and why...

Enquiring minds want to know!!!!!!Do you "brake check"?

If I am alone and riding in my 89 Buick Reatta then hell yeah!! First I slow down so they can pass if needs be, but if they continue to ride my trunk I tap the brakes. The Basturds!!

I've always wanted a rear-mounted speaker that somehow made a loud, tire-skidding noise, wired in parallel to the brake lights and to a fire extinguisher or similar device, so that when I hit a switch, the turd behind me would think I just slammed on the brakes while doing 80.I'd never do it for real. When your car's 13 years old with 214k, a new rear bumper alone might be enough reason for the ins. co. to total the car.

This is a good point. Most people have the reflex to press the brake though, but there is always the exception.

I have couple times!:D I went to pick my lil brother up from school, this wise *** kid (whom I had class with my senior year), decided to pull on my butt while the traffic person told me to stop. While I awaited him to signal me to go, he decided to pull right there, no room to roll back, none whatsoever. I take off pealing gravels and all, get half way down the road to turn on to hwy56 and head home. I was still p****ed so I slammed the brakes with no warning and the car slid a lil til I stopped. It got his attention b/c for a moment I thought he was going to run over the yield sign while watching me. but he didnt take the sign, unfortunately. :devil He never since has rode my tail again hehehe

You are a wildman, Chris! Heh, I've done that too. Damned stupid drivers.

The reason I thought of this thread was because last night as I was driving home this clown in a late 90's Camry was all over my arse. I had nowhere to go and was fairly annoyed anyway, so I gave the brakes a little "tap-tap-tapperoo" and this guy slammed his brakes and lost control. He almost went into the median divider and would have been doing barrel rolls for sure if he had been in an SUV. I've never had anyone lose it like that, but he wound up speeding past me a little later down the road.

It almost made me feel guilty, but I guess you shouldn't be a dic.k, huh?

That guy was in my class so I had to put up with him in drama back in highschool this past year. We had to redo our play like 5or7times b/c he wanted to do everyone elses part. I forgot about the van that rode my a$$ as well. He got right on me and I dont do it all the time only when somone is right there to a point ya know one false move they make could end up hitting my car. Which hey, I got full coverage covering me so he hits me he just bought my car lol anyways....

I dont brake check on him, everytime he wanted to suarve around me, and I'm thinking your stupid driver what kind of idiot drives like that? lol :pface He finally turned off. When I looked in the mirrors you couldnt really see his bumper anymore thats how close. I dont like drivers like that. They are real dumb about how they drive and dont care about the other drivers.

Ha! I did that tonight driving in the snow.... unintentionally! I almost went sideways and hit the car sticking out (because they were going too fast for the conditions and could not stop in time) and another car that was waiting to turn left. Fortunately I missed everyone, but it was that jerk in the Buick that was going too fast and almost caused a pile-up.

Anyways, I have brake checked many a time. I have not done it in a while thought. Maybe it's becsaue no one can keep up with me since I got the Max. :D

I actually had to bust one out on a soccer mom in a Honda Odyssey this morning. I'm waiting at the light on my way to work, she's screaming down the road behind me, limit's like 55, she's doing 70/80 easy, and I catch her weaving in and out of traffic, I'm in the right lane but she can't get over to the left to pass, so she skids to a stop behind me, then when the light turns green, my car isn't warmed up so I'm slowly accelerating away from the light and anyway a semi is turning into traffic a little way up the road so I'm not running up onto him just to slam on my brakes, so I hit about 35/40, still accelerating, and this crazy bizch starts honking and like waving at me to speed it up, so you know what I did. She had it coming, stupid jackholes deserve it, I was on the verge of pulling the e-brake turning sideways in traffic, stopping it for like 5 miles, just so she'd have to come to a complete stop, then getting out of my car walking up to hers and asking her just where she needed to get in such a hurry, but I'm a nice guy, so in addition to the brake check I just made sure she got the finger a couple times:D

The moms in the minivans are the worst aren't they? It seems like women drivers are more aggressive and worse drivers on the whole than men. I swear, agitate one of them and they go nuts. Nice one, miteymax!

Swerving at people is the best, it scares the **** out of them. I hate when people are hanging over their lane into mine...I'll pull up along side them, get over in the other lane myself, swerve at them, give them the finger, then bounce. They get scared and pissed all in like 2 seconds....so funny.

The best though was one time I was going to Warped Tour with two of my friends. We are in bumper to bumper traffic. A white Buick rolls by us on the right in the exit lane, then tries to get over, crossing over the solid white lines (you know when lanes split and its like a white triangle type thing, with the diagnal lines...). So the guy passed on the right, illegally crossed the white lines, and then he is trying to squeeze back into traffic. There is no way I'm letting him in. He keeps pulling up, comes literally within inches of my front fender...and I just keep pulling up, cause I don't give a ***** if the guy hits me (i'm in my 94 sentra). The guy is getting livid pist....and me and my friends just keep laughing and giving him the finger and honking and yelling at him...His face is turning beat red yelling and cursing at us (even though HE IS IN THE WRONG). So he eventually had to pull over AND LET HIS WIFE DRIVE, hahahahahahaha. He was on the phone, I assume calling the cops, but whatever...as*hole.

I have to agree with that. I come home and tell my mom that I hate women drivers and she looks at like your are one. lol I have had several of those minivans fly up on me and I'm am like whats your deal?? My old car took it a bit to warm up when I drove it. I had taken off and was changing gears and this small sliver minivan came out of no where. Not thinking of on coming traffic she races past me and car in another lane coming at her......she had kids in that van and put them in danger :( all just to rush before me to take them to school. Some parents. I only get mad at some drivers when they think riding your tail and acting like they want to ram you. Most guys are not bad drivers. :) But yet there are some real pain in the a$$ men out there. :pface

what I hate is when people honk at you when you didn't do anything. I was at a light and this stupid lady i her BMW was behind me. There was a big dip in front of me so naturally, I had to go slow and hit my breaks and was going slowly over it, she started to honk at me... I got all pissed off flipped her off and then slowed down so she could pull up next to me .. she got stuck behind a car so I looked back and asked her what the fukk wa wrong with her and she looked all scared... I slowed down some mroe but she like almost stopped in the streets trying not to come next to me.. i was laughing...

This other time I was with my wife in her car and we were going... this fuken guy in a big a$$ truck just comes in my lane... no signal,... no nothing.. i honked.. usually my wife keeps me in check but this time she knew that guy was a basturd so she honked.... I pulled around him and he tried to ram my car.... I was soo pissed... I was cussin him out like anything... I was about to get out of the damn car... I have a very bad temper... but the problem is I am not that big and that guy was prettt big... one good thing is that I would have let him hit me first and then called the cops adn filed asault charges on him and had him go to jail! Love doing that!! his car would have been imponded and ****.. but my wife don't let me do that no more =(

My wife's Suburban has a big lift, 35's, and dual exhaust that exit under the rear bumper. It's got 150K, bad rings and will be getting a new engine soon, so she learned that if she throws it in neutral and runs rhe R's up around 5K, it spews oily s*** out the pipes... We got a white Camaro SS convertible (who was so close we couldn't se him in the mirrors). Funny as hell to see him throw a tantrum as two big black greasy stripes appear on his hood and windshield. Then we moved over at the next stoplight so we could laugh at him while he threw a tantrum... :D

Sounds like the next best thing to Spy Hunter gadgets! That's just funny as hell!
