I have never done a full brake check to anyone, but the partial ones I've done have only been to snobby looking people driving expensive cars because TV told them to.

Tach, that's why you keep a few 1/4" steel ball bearings in the car. Just let 'em fly out the sunroof when you blow past.
I used to do pennies, but I don't anymore. Something about not wanting retaliation against the Talon.
I've done a full brake check once, after I finally got around some guy doing 5 under on dry roads who wouldn't let me pass, he flashed his brights at me for tailgating him, so I just let let the brake lights and tire smoke tell him how unhappy with him I was.
Most people on the road these days don't have the balls to brake check people, so they just sit there and tap the pedal so the brake lights flash at you. Unfortunately for them, I don't react to lights, I react to weight shifts and speed changes, so they can tap that pedal all they want, but I'll stay 3 feet off their tail until they get over.

I've only done a full brake check to one person, but that was cuz after a quick stab at the brakes, he continued to ride my bumper with his high beams on. I usually do just a quick stab at the brakes when I feel like someone has been following me too closely for too long, even when there is no other traffic on the road and I'm already speeding.

I have also only done one full brake check, the douche and his friends (i knew him from school) was in front of me throwing shit at my 2g, so i then proceded to pass with an immediate double footed stomp on the brakes.

yeah those vigilante bitches like that are what kill people. I seen a guy lock his brakes up on some crotch rockets forcing him up on one wheel because apparently he thought they were too close? They werent doing anything wrong in my book.
I hate people who do this because they think they're helping you learn a lesson about speeding. I hope they do that to someone and learn their own lesson about how dangerous that is when someone rear ends them and gives them a whiplash to remember for the rest of their life.

Swerving back and forth quickly in the lane is the best way I've found to get people off your ass. I had some guy about 3 feet off my back bumper on hwy 30 in Iowa (two lane, little traffic) and I was already going 15 over, so I swerved a bunch and he backed way the fuck off. 100ft at the very least.
