Unless you live in a country with gun control. Then you can be slightly more passive aggressive as long as you’re not creating an unsafe driving scenario.
Even with some gun control, you never know if the asshole is a cop on break. Fuckers love to carry and threaten others with weapons and will shoot to prove their point (at least in Brazil)
Luckily not all cops in other countries start working after a 2 week course. In Finland, for example, it’s a 3 year school, comparable to a bachelor’s degree.
Isn’t brake checking just pressing on your brakes slightly to turn on your braking lights but not engage braking? So you’re not actually braking. I did it several times when someone’s tailgating really close and it’s pretty funny to see them immediately slow down. Usually after a couple of times of doing it they got the memo and increased their distance.
Okay I don’t get the not switching lanes part, maybe I don’t drive enough. Why are people tailgating when there are multiple lanes, unless you’re in the leftmost lane for too long?
Ah yes, combating road rage with road rage. As is tradition

I’ve had another driver brandish a gun at me for doing that. Be safe out there! Making a point isn’t worth your life.
People be crazy.

Very different story in countries like Germany tho
I too employ the artful tactics of passive aggressive driving. It works. Hopefully it works well enough that people learn long term.

A “brake check” in the context of road rage isn’t checking your own brake lights, it’s checking the brakes of the person following you.
You slam on your brakes, forcing them to slam on their brakes even harder, scaring and angering the trailing car.
Hmm, looking at the Wikipedia article seems like both of our definitions are correct.
