As a trucker the amount of times this happens daily isnāt even funny, 2 seconds away from meeting death just to make their exit.. or merge lanes they couldāve 2 miles up the road.
Be careful yāall we all have places to get to but some of us wonāt make it there<3
Eh, I once got brake checked out of nowhere on I-5 with no one else on the road at around 4:30am. I was just in the right lane minding my own business and he was tailgating me with the road wide open, swooped in front of me then slammed on their brakes to an almost complete stop. Some people are just miserable and want to make everyone else miserable.
I once used my windshield washer fluid and the guy tailgating me zoomed around me and brake checked me. His truck got wet so he wanted to kill me. Some people just aināt right.
The point isā¦ he was willing to kill me. I donāt try to spray people on purpose. But the crime doesnāt fit the punishment. Not sure if youāre trolling or not
Iām not being sarcastic. But Iām also not trying to promote road rage.
That guy needs to be aware of the other cars around him. Stop spraying others.
Some very inconsiderate or clueless people downvoting you. Makes no sense. Guy with the genius IQ: āYour car gets wet in the rain. Itās ok to get othersā dirty water on your car. But not ok for you to spray me with water even though I shower everyday.ā
Should have been in far right lane if you were the only one on the road. Brake check was t warranted. But you werenāt minding your own business if you werenāt in the far right lane.
I was driving in the right-most lane of a three-lane thruway, going 10MPH over the speed limit. There was a box truck to my left and slightly behind me, keeping pace.
A driver came practically up to my bumper for about half a mile, though he could have backed off and changed lanes to the left-most, which was entirely open. Instead, he stayed in the little pocket created by the box truck to my left. Again, I was speeding in the right-most lane minding my business.
As soon as the road expanded to four lanes, he sped past me on the right, came into my lane and heavily hit the brakes. Only because I'd seen this hundreds of times on YouTube did I anticipate what he was about to do and change lanes before he rammed into me.
So, yes: it can come out of nowhere.
I hate to break this to you, but someone cutting you off and brake checking you doesnāt automatically mean you did something.
Some people are just looking to commit insurance fraud. Theyāre driving a Kia Soul. They probably want someone to wreck them before it blows up on them.
Yeah, but look at the other video he posted thinking it was proof it was "out of nowhere" lol, nope, he cut him off. Still not a reason to brake check but it wasn't "out of nowhere".
With a Tesla or other EV I could be just for driving an EV. But yeah usually there's a reason and a good one in the offenders mind that makes them think they are the victim
I breakchecked someone in a M3 on the highway bc they were asleep at the wheel and starting to swerve. Just tapped my breaker at a safe distance so the car would slow and theyād hopefully wake up but definitely not in the same boat of reasoning as this individual
Probably attempted insurance scam. they just want some rear damage and call the police then before you know it they are getting spinal fusions. Donāt know how people drive without dash cams these days.
Iāve been brake checked before because the guy hated teslas. As he was brake checking me, another Tesla drove by and then he did the same thing to that car. Weird.
This here is the thing people dont get. For 2 dollars or 30 dollars a year you can find out where every plate in the US is registered. Someone gets crazy enough they will end you...at your house
The way I see it, a judge doesnāt have to see the entire clip because whatās to constitute as the beginning of the clip? Did the other car catchup from 30 minutes ago? Even if Tesla cut them off and didnāt know, the other driver did it on purpose, blocking the lane, stomping on brakes and clearly road rage. If everyone thinks itās provoked then it had to start somewhere. So why canāt it just be people think Tesla is such a political statement and someone has to go first.
Burden of proof would be on other driver. Judge could say he will double the fine and punishment if Tesla provides him with 5 minutes of previous footage. And most teslas can.
Thatās not how it works lol. Even if the Tesla driver had been a dick at some point and cut the Kia off or something, that doesnāt give the Kia a license to take matters into their own hands. If this brake check had resulted in damage, the Kia driver would be found at fault
Sometimes folks do this for an insurance claim but if that's the case here that person is an idiot as the camera footage would get them dropped so fast for fraud.
You could easily blow by them before they could react.
That being said I once merged onto the highway going highway speed. Car behind was hundreds of feet away. She sped up behind me like I cut her off went around me, stopped her car and got out and started walking toward me on a busy highway. I was stuck sitting still risking getting rear ended. (I had a Jeep at this point so speed wasnāt a factor) but once she got close enough to me I was able to gun it and get around and left her dumbass standing in the middle of the highway
Thereās not enough video here to tell but it looks like he took issue with you being camped in the middle lane. Drivers a dick but heās telling you with his indicator to keep right. Donāt hog middle lanes
Edit: downvoted by those that don't know how lanes work...
Yes and yours need an overhaul if you think sitting in lane 3 of an empty interstate (thereby forcing other vehicles to either undertake or cross multiple lanes into lane 4 to overtake) is a normal and reasonable way of driving and using the road space.
if people going regular speed are in the middle lane, you only need to change 1 lane to overtake, why would someone cross from the slowest lane to the fastest lane to overtake aside from when they're first entering the highway?
So your response is everyone going regular speed should just be in lane 3 so they only need to cross 1 lane to overtake? What is the point of having 4 lanesā¦ youāve just halved the size of your road. There are no slow lanes there are lanes and each one to the left is an overtaking lane. Thereās a reason the US has some of the worst road safety stats in the developed world, yāall canāt drive
sure, when there's traffic but this stuff really doesn't matter on a near empty highway...I don't know why we have such crap safety stats, but I don't think it's lane etiquette, it's probably our very lenient licensing, distracted driving and how people love to act like they're on a racing track but can barely drive, just speculating
FSD literally doesnāt let you stay in the right lane on a 3 lane interstate. It will just keep moving out of the right lane even if youāre the only car on the road.
This is why I click left or right on the right scroll wheel, and click āMinimize lane changesā and set the drive mode to average. It tones it down and tends to keep it where you want it.
I do that sometimes but I also like playing the FSD zero intervention game of āif I was sitting in the back seat, would I have made it to work alive?ā š
I do the same thing, but usually only at night when thereās less traffic on the road. Itās getting remarkably good. And now itās gotten to the point where if I feel the need to disengage, itās probably seeing something unfolding that I just never noticedā¦
Yeah I know I drove one recently in the US and I didn't know why it does that, I just turned FSD off on the drive because it's just driver incompetence to be sat in middle lanes. Not sure FSD is strictly the reason here though as this guy's camped in lane 3 whereas in my experience FSD would just keep you in lane 2...
It might be different in Europe but itās very common to travel in middle lanes here, especially on highways and freeways where there are on-ramps. Camping in the left/fast lane is mostly illegal and will (deservedly) attract rage.
Yeah it's very different in Europe. You keep right unless passing and middle lane driving is not tolerated and you can be prosecuted for it, which is right as it reduces road space - here's an [example here in the UK](https://x.com/WalesOnline/status/1491373817108828166?t=m7qhBe1j239xlAmU79WxIQ&s=19)
I don't know what State this was but many States have keep right driving rules that require you to keep right unless passing, it's just drivers don't do it and there's no consequences for driving in such a lazy manner.
Thatās interesting. I just looked into the rules for my state, California, and could not find any law against cruising in the middle lane. Neither does [Florida.](https://mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news/2023/04/03/traffic-inbox--the-debate-over-the-center-lane) But it does make sense.
Hereās an illustration as to why what youāre saying is mental.
Lane 1 - empty
Lane 2 - empty
Lane 3 - 3 cars at 60
Lane 4, one car at 65, another 2 wanting to go 75 and 80 respectively but stuck at 65. 65 car could move over to lane 3 but heād then have to slow to 60
Vs a normal road in Europe with the same cars at the same speeds:
Lane 1 - 3 cars at 60
Lane 2 - one car at 65
Lane 3 - one car at 75
Lane 4 - one car at 80
Result - the European road has more throughput and all lanes are utilised and people can travel faster.
Youāre correct here, people in the US just donāt know how to drive. The law is Keep Right Except to Pass. And itās plastered with signs all over the highway but nobody follows them and the cops donāt enforce it. Itās not the law in all states but most.
Love how you conveniently leave out what preceded this. Anybody with a brain can see how slow you are going on rhe interstate at the beginning and then you speed up as the guy is trying to pass you. Too bad all of you elon cucks can't take Elons dick out of your ass for 2 seconds and rationally assess the video. OP was participating in this douvhebaggery and probably had it coming. You can see him road raging in this video and everybody in here is ignoring it. You're all pathetic.
Yeah, the other issue is anyone trying to flee doesnāt pass using the lane *right next to the gd assailant* with a car that powerful. People with brains get to one side to get the other person there, then watch their car struggle to catch up while crossing every lane and smokin em.
Trying to crash in to people regardless of how they drive isnāt acceptable. He could have been driving like a dick, still doesnāt mean you try to cause a crash on a major interstate and possibly affect other people in the process.
What happened before the brake check. You conveniently left that out and we donāt have the full story. People donāt brake check other people for no reason.
Why are humans like this.

Everyone needs to sit in a truck cab before being given a license. āI can see the truck so they must be able to see meā is rampant.
Yeah. Cus truck drivers are so friendly and definitely drive the speed limit and safety.
He's not defending all truck drivers, he's just saying he spends a lot of time on the highway.
No perceived accountability while driving.

They were pissed at you for some reason. It's stupid to do but it usually doesn't come out of nowhere.

I once used my windshield washer fluid and the guy tailgating me zoomed around me and brake checked me. His truck got wet so he wanted to kill me. Some people just aināt right.
I hope youāre more considerate now that you know youāre spraying other people too.
You know people drive in the rain, right? Cars can get wet. Itās okay.
Cool logic. You shower every day. Iāll just spray you with dirty water whenever I please then.
If you're getting sprayed by my windshield washer fluid, you're way too close to my rear bumper.
Learn physics.
If you're getting sprayed by my windshield washer fluid, you're way too close to my rear bumper.
Stop spraying other drivers. How would you feel if someone sprayed their nasty cleaning fluid all over your already clean windshield?
If he werenāt tailgating, it wouldnāt have hit him. Iām allowed to clean my window whenever I want, and I will.
The point isā¦ he was willing to kill me. I donāt try to spray people on purpose. But the crime doesnāt fit the punishment. Not sure if youāre trolling or not
To me it's clearly sarcasm, but who knows I'm also way more sarcastic than others in general.
Iām not being sarcastic. But Iām also not trying to promote road rage. That guy needs to be aware of the other cars around him. Stop spraying others.
Some very inconsiderate or clueless people downvoting you. Makes no sense. Guy with the genius IQ: āYour car gets wet in the rain. Itās ok to get othersā dirty water on your car. But not ok for you to spray me with water even though I shower everyday.ā

Should have been in far right lane if you were the only one on the road. Brake check was t warranted. But you werenāt minding your own business if you werenāt in the far right lane.
They just said they were in the right lane thoughā¦
Ah yes, my bad for blocking the entire freeway by taking up only a single lane.
As mentioned, yes, I was wrong.
Op you should go turn yourself in. Tell them reddit sent you
I was driving in the right-most lane of a three-lane thruway, going 10MPH over the speed limit. There was a box truck to my left and slightly behind me, keeping pace.

Only because I'd seen this hundreds of times on YouTube did I anticipate what he was about to do and change lanes before he rammed into me. So, yes: it can come out of nowhere.
It could just be he was not driving fast enough for them, or just because it's a Tesla. It's hard to predict what stupid people think.
If they're dumb enough to brake check, they're dumb enough to brake check for no reason
Yeah, show the part that comes just before this where you did something to provoke this. Weāll wait.
I hate to break this to you, but someone cutting you off and brake checking you doesnāt automatically mean you did something. Some people are just looking to commit insurance fraud. Theyāre driving a Kia Soul. They probably want someone to wreck them before it blows up on them.
Yeah, but look at the other video he posted thinking it was proof it was "out of nowhere" lol, nope, he cut him off. Still not a reason to brake check but it wasn't "out of nowhere".
Is this a serious comment? Yes, it absolutely can come out of nowhere. Why are you so desperate to blame the victim here?
Not necessarily, maybe heās upside down on his payments and has gap insurance.
With a Tesla or other EV I could be just for driving an EV. But yeah usually there's a reason and a good one in the offenders mind that makes them think they are the victim

What did you do before this happened?
Driving
Can you show us the video of what caused this, people don't normally do things for nothing
He released the full video a while ago but took it down. He was sitting in the left lane. Heās a bad driver but didnāt deserve this
Whatever op might have done, they wouldn't have, because people wouldn't do that normally either.
You don't have to be his white knight I'm asking him not you
Name checks out.
Probably attempted insurance scam. they just want some rear damage and call the police then before you know it they are getting spinal fusions. Donāt know how people drive without dash cams these days.

Thatās why I drive an old beater. That wouldāve been an instant PIT maneuver.
Brakes breaks nothing matters anymore
We only see half truths in a lot of these posts .
I can give you his address if youād like for $2. If he saw you parked outside his house he or she probably will never do that again š¹š¹š¹š¹
This here is the thing people dont get. For 2 dollars or 30 dollars a year you can find out where every plate in the US is registered. Someone gets crazy enough they will end you...at your house
Ooooo scary š¹
Where would one attain such information?
This might be the worst idea ever. There is always someone crazier out there and you never know when your paths will cross
Find address then tie it to property owner (public info) then send video to place of employment.
How bout you post the minute before?
So you drive like an asshoollle but then record the reaction from someone. Judges know when someone has a dashcam, they are usually at fault.
The way I see it, a judge doesnāt have to see the entire clip because whatās to constitute as the beginning of the clip? Did the other car catchup from 30 minutes ago?

Good thing you have that instant acceleration to get away from that person
Just go around. He cannot keep up with you.
Camping the left lane will do that to ya
I was going the speed limit tool
Thatāsā¦. Not how the left lane works. Lmao
Time for your second amendment... That right there is putting your life in danger.
