What if I stroked out and my foot dead-weighted the accelerator? No matter how far Im following, Ill eventually catch up.

If all youre doing is worrying about the .1% of situations that can occur, you shouldnt be driving. Not to say you shouldnt be aware of your surroundings (which I was, considering it was oh yeah, perfect weather conditions and I could see all around the car so if I did see a figure move towards the road, Id have ample opportunity to stop) but you cant drive scared.

But yes, keep saying that the person who could stop if they wanted to was tailgating. You guys are really driving the point that you dont know what youre talking about. But thats every topic for Rika.
Your honour, I understand that when I collided into the back of the vehicle in front of me, it pushed the vehicle forward far enough to run over that child. But you see, theres this user I dont like on a website, and he said that tailgating is bad. Because I dont like him, obviously the most logical course of action was to do the opposite of what he said. It was the kids fault they died and the car in front of me shouldnt have tried to stop, even if they would have succeeded if not for me.

If I'm on a two-lane road or highway, and I got someone tailgating, I prefer boxing then in, over brake checking. It's more fun and a lot safer.

What if they had to brake suddenly due to a kid running onto the road? You dont have an excuse if you havent left enough distance to cover that situation.
Then that would be taken into account when it goes to court, I'm sure. But that's clearly not what's being discussed, what's being discussed is people brake checking intentionally

TC shouldnt have been close to any bumper unless someone else is changing lanes right in front of him in a dangerous manner. If the cars in front and just brake checks then its on TC for getting anywhere close to a bumper

It's on both drivers for being assholes. As I said a while back, brake checking is illegal. If they have proof, you WILL get cited.

I've seen the whole dash cam shit go the other way. This one time the car in front seemingly was not paying attention and hard braked. He didn't bash into the front car, but a co-worker's mom couldn't stop and bashed into the car that hard braked.

There was a dash cam and to the average viewer, it might seem like the person not paying attention was at fault because there was little time to react for the co-worker's mom. However, the accident ultimately came down to almost entirely the mom's fault. There was only one reason tbh, which was that she didn't keep the proper distance and was also going too fast for the distance she was spacing

That's honestly more important than a person outright braking out of maliciousness. If you were like 3 car distance at like 40 mph, I think that's generally considered safe, and a dash cam showed the person in front brake checked, it'd be the car in front that's at fault.

If you were going 30 mph and only 1 car distance away and you got brake-checked, probably the fault of the car in the back

Okay, I dont disagree that you should keep at least 2 car lengths away from another person when possible, but that wasn't my argument to begin with.

The person behind you tailgating doesnt absolve you of any legal responsibility if you brake check them and they hit you, especially if it's on camera

You made a valid point but the reality is that if you rear end someone you're gonna be found at fault barring extreme extenuating circumstances.

I rear ended a dude once after he cut me off because I'd literally just gotten that car on the road and the mechanic who looked it over didnt think the brake lines were rusty enough to be a concern....

Still got cited for following too closely. Which was a mistake on the cops part, imo, but its one that many cops would likely make.

Also overall he was a great dude and straight up told the lady who started faking whiplash the moment he got on scene "you can drop it right now. I'm not buying it."

If that giant old piece of Detroit Iron didn't even make a mark (i stomped the e brake as soon as inreaoized my brakes weren't working) when I slid into their kia or whatever the fuck it was it was pretty clear the collision wasn't serious enough to cause injury.

Yes, obviously the brake checker is also in the wrong. But that doesnt mean TC is in the right. And its going to be more difficult for TC to prove it was a brake checkers fault that he collided into a car he shouldnt have been tailgating.

I dont know why you're telling me about this. I never came to TCs defense in the first place

The thing that gets me is the alarming amount of people itt that claim that they themselves brake check, or think it's fine to do so. Like go ahead, risk pissing off someone who was already driving aggressively in a country where road rage is common and theres more guns than people. Seems incredibly risky and stupid, and the legal implications are likely to be the least of your worries

Summary of the topic:

CE sucks at driving and reading

Agreed.

All these people think they know the entire situation lmao. I had enough distance to stop if I slammed on my brakes. I didnt, I slowed down and then slammed if necessary, which was the time that I laid on my horn for a second. But keep going to bat for those brake checkers CE! Solidarity for when the insurance company denies your claim for driving like an asshole and you need to beg for money to fix your car.

Most tailgaters don't even realize how much they tailgate. It's silly, because being an extra car length closer to the car in front of you gains you nothing. Absolutely nothing! Hahah!

Sounds right.

Especially for someone who estimates less than a car length distance at points and says they weren't doing it.

A half a car length? Thats extreme tailgating tc. Thats stupid fucking dangerous.

Does tc seriously think you have to be 3 inches off their ass for it to be tailgating?

You already gave us the most pertinent information. That if they slammed the breaks you were close to their bumper and at risk of crashing.
thats still very much your fault and you should have your licence revoked.

half a car distance isnt acceptable even in slow city traffic.

Especially if they were the only two on the road. The only time it becomes seriously dangerous is if you turn on to an Interstate with people going 60 or 80mph and decide you're gonna do 40. And even then, if the guy who is coming up is paying attention, he could probably avoid an accident. While blowing his horn and flipping the bird at you for driving like a granny.

it isnt and you can absolutely be pulled over for it just the same as speeding and Ive seen it happen more than once. Going 15 or 20 miles under the speed limit in any situation except inclement conditions or something either turns you into an impediment everyone on the road has to dodge around or on a one lane road potentially a cause for traffic patterns at large to shift around you

both tailgating or brake checking are dangerous things all jokes aside but the guys in ops story should have either gone to the shoulder and let him pass If there was some sort of problem or met the normal traffic flow if there was not

Youre the one thinking I was tailgating while living literally across the globe lmao

Youre the one who thinks I care about your opinion and that I care about a circle jerk. Hell, Im surprised that a post I made at midnight got 200ish posts in a day; about 190 more than I expected. Yall just insane.

But keep putting words in my mouth. Theres many, many reasons to think youre a troll; you saying tailgating is bad is not one of them, as I agree with that. Hate it when people do that to me on the freeway when Im actively passing in the left lane. Ill move right when Im done passing. I wasnt tailgating. Could literally see their tire on the road the entire time.

I said I was bad at judging distances and it was hours after the fact.

I was far enough away to brake enough to still see their tires on the ground which means I wasnt completely on their ass. Which is what I was trying to say. Sure, I might not have been the drivers ed following distance, but I was normal following distance on clear conditions, will admit slightly closer. But I wasnt tail gating.

But keep going to bat for brake checkers!
