Shit. It sickens me that we have to share the roads with people who do things like this.

What happened to just flipping the person off or wanking your hand at them and going about your day?

Probably shouldn't trade break checks when your passenger is pregnant either. Thats just a bad idea. But what the fuck happened to people where even if this was happening, why the fuck is shooting someone your response? I have been break checked before. You flip them off and leave like you said.

been driving 15 years in london and never been brake checked.

My trick is I'm patient and I don't tailgate anyone

Driving killing machines / operating heavy mahinery should be reserved for adults. An 'adult' being someone who is mature enough to not to instigate or escalate these types of situation. I think both drivers should be banned from driving until they can prove that they are competent to operate heavy machinery.

wanking your hand

Hey, whoa, buddy! Nobody wants to hear about you wanking with your hand!
