I'm often tempted to do this when I have some moron riding my back bumper. I always think about the potential for a huge pile up when the guy does lock up, loose control, skids across three lanes taking out the minivan with the kids in it, and having to watch in the rear view mirror as the 10 cars following plow into the wreck. Maybe I have a vivid imagination, but that always stops me from doing it.
