Again, if the tailgater was the proper distance behind then regardless of why somebody in front of them has to hit their brakes nothing would happen.

It was a tailgater who fucked up my neck, you'll never convince me those fuckers aren't primarily to blame for the accidents they cause. Let's say you rear end somebody and you just assume they're a brake checker. How do you know? Do you just assume they're brake checking because you were on their ass driving like a fucking lunatic? I mean probably but let's be real, there could be any number of reasons why they pressed their brakes. Maybe there was something on the road, maybe there wasn't but they thought there was, people after all make mistakes when they're in a high stress environment such as being tailgated by a lunatic who should have their license taken away and never be allowed behind the wheel again.

You are confusing genuine sudden brakers with brake checking.

Brake checking is deliberate road rage and a dangerous act that is retaliatory. An act that intentionally is trying to risk the lives of others as a retaliatory act. Lives that btw can include innocent bystander.

Someone genuinely slamming the brakes for genuine reasons that had nothing to with with trying to retaliate against the person behind them is not a brake checker.
