There's a world of difference between brake checking and activating your brake lights without braking and your foot on the gas. I do the latter all the time.

People drive like idiots. I pull a horse trailer (big un, 3 horses with living q's) and people do stuff all the time like pass on the right then whip in front of me, only to realize I was going slower because the car in front was. Bam on go the brakes.

Yesterday I came to a one lane bridge with yield signs in both directions a mile from my house in an f350 with my pup hanging her head out the window. I slowed, then had to stop as the woman coming the other way in her suv at maybe 50 never even lifted. Almost drifted into the center so she could explain to the cop how she hit me on my side of the bridge when I "didn't yield".
