Because what if they slam on the brakes because there's a child running into the road? What if there's an animal? Or any other of a billion reasons to slam on the brakes. You need to give adequate distance to the person in front of you.

> In fact in The rest of non Rutland Vermont you are considered the victim of road rage and the person who intentionally caused an accident can be charged with reckless driving.

in fact in 100% of the world if you rear end someone insurance will place you at fault

If you cut someone off and then slam on your breaks, they are not at fault. If they have a dashcam you are screwed and your insurance will have to pay for you deciding to drive like an idiot.

sure, if you swerve into their lane and slam the brakes. that's not the premise of 99.99% of brake checks, in which the person you're following is already in your lane. fair enough on swerving in first though

and finally I'm not trying to le reddit you but *brakes
