I think those truckers worked really well together to be able to brake at the same time and not go into the back of the other one! Great job! Very impressed!
On a serious note. There is a clip of a bunch of Russian truckers doing the same thing to a gang of mobsters who were trying to force a truck to stop to pay a fee.
A bunch of truckers boxed them in they got kurva'd
Tarlson sounds very much like the Dutch word Tarrel, which means a small piece of shit that is stuck in your asshairs and I think that is an apt comparison
Right? I mean just like anywhere there's bad apples but...
They're just trying to work man. Let them merge, let them pass, let them fucking be. They have the power to kill us all, be glad most are on good hands.
Idk why you're being downvoted....I see this shit all the time. They aren't fucking saints that can do no wrong and they aren't the only people with important jobs or roles they are in.
Yea.
But check OP’s account.
1 month old but already 300k karma. Not really a normal behaviour.
If you stick long enough in Reddit, you will notice a pattern, bot accounts reposting top posts of a sub and other bot accounts copying the top comments of that post. It’s like a symbiotic relationship.
Do we have a big election or astroturfing project coming soon that I don’t know about?

Dangerous stuff…
“I shouldnt do that because if I do, someone more powerful than me might hurt me …
But, wait … what if *I’m* the one with the power ..?”
Thirty five years ago, when I started driving, the only reason to brake check someone was if they were tailgating you- the brake lights and slow-down was sending a message: “get off my a$$” or, “if you’re in such a hurry, go around me cos I’m not speeding up!”
But these days it appears to just be an AH move.
Seriously. If someone’s tailgating you (provided you can’t switch lanes out of their way) the best thing to do is to sit on the speed limit and never accelerate past it. Brake far in advance of where you would normally (which has the advantage of keeping you safer too). If they honk and rage at you just pull out your driving license and wave it at them while continuing to drive exactly on the limit. Do nothing else. Do not stop. Do not speed up. They’ll eventually just get bored and fuck off by going around you, finding a different route or calming down like a normal human being.
Literal brake-checking where you come to an actual stop is an awful idea no matter who is behind you. An even worse and deadly idea if the vehicle behind you is several times heavier than your car.
Reminds me of playing those games where there's no communication, and you had to communicate that you were friendly through doing things like spinning your mouse around, spam crouching, or spamming some mechanic or whatever.
> Can you please tell me why anyone would "brake check" someone?
People do it when you are up their ass tailgating inches away.
Usually though people do it with a tap to flash the red lights. Not a full stop.
No, it is not safe. And definitely not a good idea. Do not brake check.
Just explaining why people would do that. Be aware of the distance from the vehicle ahead of you is the point.
I've had my signal on before a turn and someone riding my ass. Well I gotta turn, you know I gotta turn. They didn't get the message and almost got run off the road when I had to slow to turn. They were in the other lane swerving to not hit me.
The version shown to us in the video is just stupid though, that's not brake checking, that's insurance claims.
It is check if the other driver breaks are working or not, so they know they have to change them. Quite wholesome!
I seriously wanna know what is it too, the term seems stupid, that is a fraud attempt.
What do you mean what is it? Its road rage lol. People do it to piss people off they feel slighted from, thsy don't usually expect to be hit or anything.
It’s a whole different thing than what my parents taught me about now. Used to be you would “break check” someone following too closely by lightly tapping your breaks to flash break lights. The assumption is that the person filling too closely has their mind on something else or is in too big of a hurry and needs a little reminder to get off your ass, not something people got mad about. Now it’s a full on road rage martial art technique. People do it specifically to piss people off when they feel some type of way. People are so full of anger and frustration now.
In this particular case, my bet would be that the break-checker thought the truck overstayed it's welcome on the left lane, which is supposed to be used for overtaking. In general, it's usually done out of revenge.
Obviously, but it's in the same vein as telling someone to not punch Mike Tyson. You shouldn't punch anyone out of the blue, but you especially shouldn't punch Mike Tyson out of the blue unless you want cranial reconstruction.
I was gonna ask the same thing. My dad drove trucks, the damage he showed me? Not from his own but from people just making stupid mistakes like forgetting trucks do wide turns is incredible. If people think they're getting a pay day they won't. Honestly they'd be lucky to make it out alive. These videos baffle me.
I do not understand what are there to achieve by brake checking a 40 ton vehicle going with 90 km/h. Life long injuries? Death? Causing lifelong regret to truck driver? What is the motivation?
Maybe he had trouble overturning the truck or was pissed he is on the left lane. No matter what, this whole brake-checking thing is pure shit and a severe beating the solution.
Indeed.
I mean, I can understand to get furios about truckers on highways, even though I'd rather have compassion with these poor guys driving our food and goods around the world. But to brake check such a massive cannon on wheels is just a badly disguised suicide attempt.
Because a very few of them for instance like to do these "elephant races", where they block both lanes (most highways in Germany consist of only two lanes), while one with 100km/h of them tries to overturn the other which is at 100.001km/h.
Could be the case here too, because the other two trucks immediately knew what "to do".
A lot of company owned trucks in the US have speed limiters installed so it's less about racing and more about you are going the exact same speed as the truck beside you. Unless you're paying complete attention to the other truck you might never notice it.
Can someone explain to me why i see so many of those ppl, it's something normal to "break check" someone? This never ever happened to me, nor i heard for it in my country
It's not normal. In fact it was illegal and can be considered reckless driving.
The motif of brake checking is to tell someone to back off but it can lead to serious accident's if it had gone wrong
It's a fairly common road rage tactic in America. Not like it happens every day, but any American driver who has been on the road for awhile will probably have a story about a time someone did it to them. I've never done it because I think it's a good way to get in serious accident, but I saw many a dumb teenager I was riding with do it in high school. Usually you do it when someone is riding your ass real hard.
In the US at least, isn’t break checking considered aggressive driving? By that I mean slamming the breaks for no reason other than to cause an accident
Do people thing these trucks don't have dash cams or something...? What happens if the trucker does actually hit you. Now you have to pay damages for reckless driving...?
Wait what’s “break checking”? Is it an American thing or something? Why would you just slam on your breaks in the middle of the road when you’re moving like that?
If a pile up was going to happen it would of been a result of the initial brake check to 0 mph on a highway.
The flow on effect would of gradually slowed down both lanes to a safe speed.
Having someone driving close behind you is annoying but reality check, it does not put your life in danger. Yes, if there is a red light down the road maybe they bump you, Who knows? The bottom line is if a impact happens in that manner it defaults to the driver behind being at fault. At least here in the States.
Switching lanes is a option if someone is annoying, but stopping in the middle road forcing all cars to slam on their brakes can kill someone. How would you know there is not a mom behind the semi with 2 Kids fighting in the back seat, mom turns her head at the wrong second. And slam! she just wedged her car with her kids under the rear of the semi because of a "don't tailgate me or I'll brake on you" mentality.
I recently upgraded to a subaru and I feel like it brakes on a dime. If my wife's Toyota Corrolla was behind me I could easily make her hit me even if she is 3-4 car lengths behind me, if I where to slam the brakes hard.
I've driven in Uhauls on a few moving trips where you can barely tell who behind you. As I drove it never mattered who was behind me. As long as its not an emergency vehicle or I'm not backing up I don't care alot about who is behind the uhaul, I can't see them anyways.

You got a clip?
https://youtu.be/5WVAC_DKeYc
Oh wow, they weren't kidding around. They flipped the car like it was nothing...
"Kurva" or "kurwa" is not Russian..., They don't even have that word in the Russian language, It's Czech or Polish
> they got kurva'd what is kurva?
BLYAT!
The last Russian trucker I was in was pretty lose
Loose.

Notice how they puff out their chests. That seems to be a Russian thing too. So they were puffy and tight.

Until you're on a cross country trip and literally every truck drives in pairs just to cut you off and force you to slow down for entertainment ...
Idk why you're being downvoted....I see this shit all the time. They aren't fucking saints that can do no wrong and they aren't the only people with important jobs or roles they are in.
Or when they decided to own the passing lane despite going 80km/h.

That's not the real reason not to do it though.

Don't brake check or Jesus will be sad. Ford 4:12
Break check and get ur neck bent - Ford F:150 - Sun Zu Art of War

Also stay out of the fast/passing lane and this will happen less

Break checks a truck loaded with 10 tons of shit. Is suprised his little BMW got fucked
I never said they were intelligent people. ahaha
People do it all the time in the UK. I've been brake checked by someone that was unhappy i overtook them on my motorcycle. Not fun.
This is why you buy a dash cam. If someone does it, make sure you get their license plate and report them to the police. Its illegal.
It’s a whole different thing than what my parents taught me about now. Used to be you would “break check” someone following too closely by lightly tapping your breaks to flash break lights.

Satisfied with this, if the 2 trucks that boxed the car didn't pay attention just for an instant they all could have died.
[удалено]
It's all fun and games until the truck doesn't stop.
brake checking in general is completely stupid, not just when doing it to semis
Obviously, but it's in the same vein as telling someone to not punch Mike Tyson. You shouldn't punch anyone out of the blue, but you especially shouldn't punch Mike Tyson out of the blue unless you want cranial reconstruction.
fair comparison

Ah shit this is great!
This needs to happen more often.
Just not the part with a truck driving in the fast lane
Haha, yes!
The break checking?
Nay, truckers using the passing lane.
Ah yes, big bois shalt not pass.
Brake
Why do people brake check in the first place? Is it just to be annoying or is it because they’re being tailgated? This always confuses me
Either that or they want to sue for money.
Road rage is so stupid. There are people out there who will shoot at you just for honking and flashing
Ugh. Imagine that happening on the autobahn. Instantly many dead fast drivers.
I do not understand what are there to achieve by brake checking a 40 ton vehicle going with 90 km/h. Life long injuries? Death? Causing lifelong regret to truck driver? What is the motivation?
he tried to check trucks brakes
Ah I see
Well then it makes sense
Why did the car brake?
Maybe he had trouble overturning the truck or was pissed he is on the left lane. No matter what, this whole brake-checking thing is pure shit and a severe beating the solution.
If the trucker didn't had good brake or reflex or something the car driver would just die it's so stoupid
Indeed. I mean, I can understand to get furios about truckers on highways, even though I'd rather have compassion with these poor guys driving our food and goods around the world. But to brake check such a massive cannon on wheels is just a badly disguised suicide attempt.
Why some people hate trucker when there the one delivering the food we will never know. Give love to trucker

In france too we manly have 2 lane i seen a elephant race once in my life, wanted to die
A lot of company owned trucks in the US have speed limiters installed so it's less about racing and more about you are going the exact same speed as the truck beside you. Unless you're paying complete attention to the other truck you might never notice it.
In most of Europe that is extremely illegal (and enforced). If you are not passing you need to be OUT of the left lane.
How about braking a little bit softer next time with the truck? When the back of the car folds in on itself, how's that for instant karma?
Those truckers have more coordination that the entire Russian army.
Don’t fuck with ~~Russian~~ Ukrainian truckers.
Either ways he was gonna get his ass beat up. Deserved it.
That's wonderful to see. What a dick.
Things you love to see

It's not normal. In fact it was illegal and can be considered reckless driving. The motif of brake checking is to tell someone to back off but it can lead to serious accident's if it had gone wrong
I see, so it's extra step of toxicness from the people that drive slow in the fast lines
Also I forgot to mention it's also possible that the person wants to commit a insurance fraud

Idiots will be on cruise control, ways to turn off the cruise control is hit brake which the moron did, or turn off cruise control like a sane person.
Definitely not in the United States
No shit

Ur reminds me about bus drivers all ways waving to eachother as they go by, it’s kinda wholesome and a great part of my day

Don't fuck with the big rig mafia.
Seriously, why do people brake check?
Truck gang
He should go brake check a biker gang now.
Wait what’s “break checking”? Is it an American thing or something? Why would you just slam on your breaks in the middle of the road when you’re moving like that?
Should have rammed the cunt. Completely his fault if you don’t brake on time. Hate entitled idiots who do this. Especially on motorways.
This. Is. Magic.

If a pile up was going to happen it would of been a result of the initial brake check to 0 mph on a highway. The flow on effect would of gradually slowed down both lanes to a safe speed.
And that's what makes this even mor beautiful
[удалено]
Brake checking is usually because someone is pissed at getting tailgated. Don’t ride a bumper & you won’t be brake checked.
Get the F outta the left lane
You do this to me and I'm not stopping
If someone tailgates me I usually slow down.
Same. I drive the speed limit but if they harass me, I slow down.
