tailgating = careless driving
brake checking = dangerous driving

I'm not the dummy.

Dumb post.

Tail-gating is reprehensible. Colliding into the back of another vehicle is the tail-gaiters' fault. Ask any insurance company.

If the driver thinks he saw something and brakes hard (brake check in action), that is hardly his fault if he gets hit from behind. The insurance company would rather payout for a vehicle bump than a potential pedestrian being run over. Ask any insurance company

Unless they have dash cameras - then you are screwed. You might even get reported for insurance fraud as well as dangerous driving.

Its pretty obvious to spot a brake checker.

I can hit the brakes for any reason, not just your imaginary brake check excuse.

Tail-gating - bad. Ask any insurance company.

Correct. That could be a street you wish to turn into, or a child aimlessly skipping along the edge of the footpath. Brake check my arse.

Would be a good camera that can see out of the car in fronts windscreen.

Talking rubbish again.

Standard.

We can all think of valid examples where a person suddenly brakes for good reason.

And that is the issue. Tailgaters are the problem

Imo tail gating is intimidating or an attempt to intimidate ??

So you should go faster, and faster to creste a gap and keep it? Rubbish. Poor driving and reasoning by any standards.

Read the post you quoted again.

 

[Brigadier]

Rubbish, it changes nothing if they are too close to your bumper to react. It doesn't matter how big the gap is in front of you, if they are too close to react behind.

Just admit that you do not understand, rather than keep arguing about your (mis)comprehension.

Is there a good reason why anyone would drive really close (at speed) to the car in front?

No, thought not. Tail-gaiting = bad. Ask any insurance company.

So you too think you can create a gap behind you, either by going faster or slower and you think I don't understand.

Fair enough.
