In Texas you'd be cited for improper stopping if you intentionally brake check someone and cause an accident.

Talked to my daughter who is a cop, slamming on your brakes without reason is illegal, and if it can be proven that there was no reason to slamm the brakes, the one running into will be at no fault! Will end up in court with lots of lawyer bills for either side I guess, so not it's not worth it.

Yeah, insurance scammers are notorious for this.

I guess Luigi doesn't believe this....

It sounds like to me if, one is tailgating and the other slams brakes, they are both at fault hence cancelling each other out. So they would be both at fault. The second ticket would be given to the tailgater. Which is also ILLEGAL!

Anyway fvck aggressive pickup trucks. Engine braking, no law against that.

Great debate guys. All points valid.

keep calm and ignore trucks

I have gotten to an age where I move over a lane and let them go if I am in the 370Z.

Also I have a Full size Truck and never tailgate....It isn't worth the hassle of possible injury, insurance claims, etc....

I agree with the keep calm when driving...I drove for a living for 27 years...There are lunatics out there and some with no insurance...Not worth it...Let them go...Sooner or later they will crash...

Straight line drag race?

No, but depending on power/weight for his specific model, it might be close. The Z is almost certainly better geared and will have better traction.

Any cornering?

No. The truck will probably roll unless it has been substantially modified for turning and braking.

Towing?

You will lose your shirt.

So, no bets on towing capacity.

What do you think about "YOU WIN" as a vanity plate?

Chuck33079 · 06-12-2013, 11:22 AM

Maybe I'm a pussy, but I wouldn't want to brake check somebody into buying me a new car even if it were legal and I'd come out ahead cost-wise. Wrecks hurt. With my luck, my replacement car if I pulled that kind of stunt would be a cripplevan with hand controls.

Amen...Just move over and let them go....They are usually frustrated Drivers with way more problems than just tailgating...I see them all the time..

Imagine if we all drove airplanes instead of cars, it'd be a nightmare in the skies lol

Haha...If the Guy started to tailgate you, the Jet wash would spin him out of the sky...No brake check needed...

All in all, this comes down to Accountability. When a driver makes the decision to ignore their responsibilities it makes us want to REMIND them of it. For me, a nice discourse with a .45 barrell through their front teeth usually makes a great point, however, they usually cry and piss on themselves...but hey, I'm not recommending it...Just saying its an option....(in some countries)
