I was driving home today, rural interstate, hardly any traffic, but the westbound interstate was getting ready to go from 3 lanes to 2. I was in the middle lane behind a State Trooper. A guy in a small GMC SUV was coming up fast (~100mph vs our 70) and saw the trooper at the last second, jammed on his brakes and ducked in behind the trooper. I think he was lucky, the trooper didn't do anything. 20 miles later, the same dingle berry was behind me (a bunch of us were) while a semi passed other vehicles at a glacial pace in the left lane. We get to a spot with a lane to exit, and the dingle-berry passes in the exit lane, jumps back in front of 2 semis and then aggressively brake checks the semi that I'm behind. I'd never seen anyone do that before. Seems like a bad idea. At least it didn't end badly.
