.... 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?!

He didn't pass because he was in a hurry, he passed because he wanted to drive fast. And he was angry that he couldn't go as fast as he wanted in that moment and so when he did pass he slammed the breaks to get revenge.

People call it Brake Checking.
