Why You Never, Ever Brake Check Another Driver

We do not support tailgating, and we do not support brake checking someone when they’re tailgating you. This, right here, is why.

Think someone’s going too slow in the left lane? Cool. Just go around them. Think someone’s tailgating you? Cool. Just switch over to another lane.

We know people drive badly. You are not a cop (unless you are, in which case, neat). It is not your job to police everyone out there.

Because when you do, you end up on the Internet. Where people can snark on you all day.

Trust me. I’m on the Internet. I would know.
