WTF? WHY?! There was a thread in OOT a few months ago about "brake checks" - why in the hell do people do this?!

I have been a "brake checker" until yesterday.

Driving in center lane of three lane interstate, truck on my right, left lane open, a car comes up and sits on my tail. I tap the brakes to slow down to encourage him to pass, he slams on his brakes, loses control of his car and swerves hard left off the road and slams into the center guard rail.

Very bad result for a brake check. I will not do it again.
