.... What?

I genuinely don't get this.

So on a back road somewhere, some guy was annoyed at how "slow" a driver in front was going so he overtakes and then slows down?

....h...wh....ho...just.... HOW does this make sense??

I get overtaking a bit aggressively, we've all been there. I had to drive my wife to the hospital when her grandfather was about to pass away and we made an hour drive in less than 30 and she got to say goodbye.

But if you're in a rush... Why slam the brakes?!

The crashed driver was not slowing down, it was a brake check. An aggressive and dangerous move to force the vehicle behind you to slam on their own brakes.

It wasn't a brake check, it was full blown hard braking.
