I break check by using the hand brake so there is no lights in the rear that light up. All of a sudden there front ends drop down because they realize they are about to hit me. I never do it to shitty cars though.

I'm a fan of letting off the gas. Tapping the brakes at tailgaters is tempting fate.

I usualy just push the clutch in and drop it down a gear or 2, then once im going slow enought that the person behind me gets tired of and *tries* to pass me, I dump the clutch and floor it. Rinse and repeat as nesesary, they usualy get the point after the first round, but there are your slow types that go back to riding your bumper like the never learned anything.

i do the exact same thing...i had a guy brake check me the other night because he pulled out infront of me and pissed me off because i had to slam on my brakes so i started riding his bumper. He practically came to a stop on a two lane highway, so i decided to go around him. Right when i pulled into the lane to pass him he "tried" to take off...it didnt work out to well for him. I never saw him again lol

some people just deserve a good brake check every now and then, they know they deserved it when it happens too. You've just got to do it the correct way and nobody will be in danger

I've been rearended twice since getting back to Florida, neither incident involved brake checking, but I'm not going to push my luck by doing it. If someone rides my ass long enough for me to notice, I just box them in as best I can, or slow down more until they get aggravated and go around me.
