There was a Batman anniversary comic which told various alternate reality stories and one of them was about a Batman that had to deal with this. Everything started out the same where Bruce Wayne trained and equipped himself to fight crime, except after a couple of weeks he ran out of crime to stop. So to keep Bruce from going crazy without anything to do Alfred hires a bunch of his old actor friends to be supervillains. They would put together elaborate "crimes" (purposefully designed so nobody would get hurt) that Batman would then come in to stop.

This sounds really cool! What's the name of this comic?

I think whatever he hit with the gun swam between his legs and scared him. Judging by the surroundings I'm pretty confidant in stating that what he was hunting was a chupacabra.

When someone is tailgating me, I slow down to create more distance ahead of me, in hopes that I won’t have to brake as hard if something happens. Apparently some people find this infuriating?

Do you slow down by stomping the break and reducing your speed 40kmh? Because that's what was happening here.

I guess the fact that unlike English, my native tongue doesn't even have a specific phrase for brake checking is an indication of very real cultural differences but I would think depressing the brake pedal a few times just enough for your brake lights to turn on would be enough? Not that even that isn't dangerous if there's traffic behind the tail-gater.

Counterpoint: it's your legal responsibility (in the uk at least) to leave enough distance so that if the car in front performs an emergency stop, you are able to safely do so as well.

It's also every driver's responsibility to do everything in your power to avoid an accident. That's why brake checking and causing an accident is illegal, no matter how much of a dick the other guy was. It's just hard to catch.

It's also illegal to hit a car parked in front of your driveway, for the same reason.

Probably, but holding up a multi-million dollar project she might already supposed to be committed to (I dunno if she did sign a 3 picture deal but its very common)would awaken so many lawyers she couldn't possibly shoot all of them.

Edit: NM I forgot all about Batman v Superman so she should be up for re-negotiations if there was a 3 picture deal in place.

You can see in a lot of the clips that the brake checker is (sometimes illegally) passing, merging in front of them, and then immediately stomping on the brakes. A lot of the victims are semi-trucks which absolutely do not have the capacity to stop in time to prevent this garbage. It's an insurance scam. And a pretty easily foiled one too, for the morons that are caught doing it on camera.

Not in all of them, mind, sometimes it is just to punish a tailgater. Tailgating is dickish and rear-ending someone because you were following too closely is a stupid way to drive up your insurance rate (and a gross misdemeanor here in MN) but brake checking is deliberately being dangerous and can cause some gnarly accidents so you're a real rear end in a top hat for doing it.
