It's for a specific reason. They are looking at the god damned phone.

Holding the brake and going uphill. For the love of god, learn to drive old man!
meowzer3
or the idiots the ride their brakes going UPHILL!!!! omg i want to ram them!!
lifeisadadjoke
This has been an epidemic here in Toronto for about 5 years now. I travel a lot, and only place worse for this is I-4 between 528 and 192.
Addman0
Yea it's probably because you're tailgating.
Diamondo25
How about the people that have either their brake pressed all the time (or maybe driving on their handbrake)...
Iullabee
maybe i brush the brake pedal to signal to you that YOU'RE TOO FUCKING CLOSE TO ME AND YOU'D BETTER RESPECT THE SECURITY DISTANCE. back.off.
StripTheFleshSaltTheWound
Excessive braking is my first sign to pass or hang back. You should know your car well enough to let your foot off the gas.
Agouti
In this thread: A ton of massively self-entitled bullies who think they own the road...
Squester
They're brake checking you, stop tailgating
TheRicM
Or they’re following the car in front of them too closely
MugenMusou
Nah, it's not always that. Yesterday someone was breaking just coz...empty 300m in front of him, empty driving lane... I rarely see it tho
ivicR
How else do you text and drive?
SweetFighter
Or when the car thats at least 4 car lengths ahead of them brakes and for some reason they feel the need to brake too.
AntTrapHouse
It would be a shame if I went 28 mph in a 30 zone, just so the dial is slightly off the max speed. Such a shame

Whwn you finally get to pass them
Rugmimgu
Those are people driving automatics yet using two feet, they don't realize how annoying they are to us while driving behind them

yacko69
maybe if you weren't tailgating?
AEngle05125
If they keep hitting their brakes you're probably riding their ass, back it up a skosh

If I’m not spooning you, I’m not close enough ;)
aloysiuscentauri
If you think some one is tailgating, move bitch, get out the way, get out the way bitch, get out the way

"I'm doing 100 on the highway so if you do the speed limit get the fuck out of my way"
aloysiuscentauri
Nope. Just don’t drive at the same speed as the guy next to you. That is all.
aloysiuscentauri
Drive at whatever speed you want.
fredh67
No. I don't tailgate, trust me. I see random braking all the time.

When the car in front of you tries to merge onto the highway at 38 MPH
Pewpewblaster
FUCK this speaks to me. Pennsylvania drivers suck so much ass at merging it’s utterly infuriating.
Sugarcrotch
fuck em they can sit on the on ramp i aint got time for their shit
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Dont worry they will slow down even more! *taps brake lights at 2 mph under highway speed and no discernable issue with traffic in front*

Well if semi trucks had any decency to watch for mergers, this wouldn't even be a problem.

Or wait for the light to green before they turn right, even when it's open n legal to do so.
Ozarck
Sometimes I have an obstructed view to the left and must wait, but if it's visibly clear, yeah, I agree.
CharterBoatWhatCharterBoat
They are just tapping their brake pedal in time to their favorite Nickleback song.

Perfzilla
I'M TELLING YOU TO STOP RIDING MY ASS, FUCKNUTS, I'M GOING 5 OVER THE LIMIT
aloysiuscentauri
Are you deriving right next to someone going the same speed, preventing everyone behind you from passing?
pnutzgg
good, pull over, it's the end of the month and we need a couple more speeding tickets or the boss will have our guts for breakfast
AnAccountToPostThis
"Speeding is dangeousssss! Brake checking at speed? Perfectly normal :D " please turn in your license.
Perfzilla
I will lightly tap on my brakes to kindly remind people the importance of proper stopping distance. In my area 5MPH speeding is the norm.
AnAccountToPostThis
So you brake check them. Gotcha.
Ozarck
No. This is called flashing your brake lights. You can lightly tap your brakes without slowing. Back the fuck off.
AnAccountToPostThis
Ah so intentionally hitting your brakes with no reason to except to illicit a response from the person behind you? So brake checking?
lindabelchersfirstcousin
Itseemedreasonable
It's usually bc they are texting.
xVVitch
Some people just suck at driving.
Iamaperson1166
I wish the speed limit was enforceabley varied between lanes. Like if you're going 30mph in a "30 mph zone" in the left lane, get ticketed.
Sylmor
That happens in NL all the time. You stick in the left lane too long regardless of speed, you get fined.
fredh67
That happens in some states, too. Agree with @Iamaperson1166, though; should be like +5 on the limit for every lane away from the slow one.
Iamaperson1166
Speed demons downtown are going to weave lanes, plus I want a "slower than normal" lane when the weather acts up.
NaughtButOne
Police have discretionary power re: speed limit. You are *supposed* to go slower in bad weather. People have been fined for doing the >
Iamaperson1166
I'd like the speeding morons to be legally 1 or 2 lanes away from me when I'm slowing down due to bad weather.
NaughtButOne
Fair.
NaughtButOne
> speed limit in snow, because it isn't safe.
battlepants
In the snow, everything should be considered to have a speed limit of 10-15 IMO. Highways could be the exception, but I just avoid them.
battlepants
Or better yet, stay home if at all possible.
Saxon99
Every fucking morning on the way to work
drsandwich76
it's usually been because they're looking down on their phone and not paying attention to what's in front...
Sexy360
The guy in front of you knows it bothers you
RawDogginChixSince2000Six
And I loooove doing it
blumpk1npie
Also applies to walking. Go to the side of the path if you need to slow down

*taps brake lights at 2 mph under highway speed and no discernable issue with traffic in front*
aloysiuscentauri
It has become very clear from the comments that people think it is okay to literally cause traffic jams . . .
aloysiuscentauri
. . . because they happen to think someone is tailgating them.
TallgeeseIV
And the whole god damn way home...

Saxon99
Yeah I thought that too.
Loadertron
I sometimes tap my brakes for 'no reason' when the guy behind is tailgating.
LostbutnotLast
Especially when running late
Saxon99
When running late they ad the bonus of going 10 under the speed limit as well

*taps brake lights at 2 mph under highway speed and no discernable issue with traffic in front*
Agouti
Probably because you were tailgating.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
re-read what i wrote entirely
Agouti
Yup, no traffic in front, but someone buried far enough up their butt to tell them what they had for breakfast.
cybersael
i myself always leave 1-2 cars of space (at 40mph) and these idiots still do it.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
This is what i meant
NapoleonDynOmite
You have a responsibility to the people behind you while in the traffic. Get through the light, pull up as close as you can so...
NapoleonDynOmite
the guy behind you can cross the intersection also. Pay attention at 4way stop signs. Go as soon as possible. Don't wait.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Why. i just want to space out and do what i want at all times. Social etiquette is taxing
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
*causes grid lock traffic for no reason*
Billyjimjoejohngerryjosephgeorgejames
Seriously! This should be integral to all driving tests. Avoid unnecessary braking. Save some gas and engine wear and stuff. Please! Ffs.
paranoidplatinum
Goodness yes. And it sucks because I have a small car and can't always see past the people infront of me who just keep slamming pedals >:(
sykoticflaw
My ex-wife was fucking TERRIBLE about this. And then wondered why she wore through brand-new brakes in 13 months and claimed a scam.
grisen072
It's a part of the Swedish driving test - Eco driving
Cthulhukitten
infuriating. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU BREAKING ON A STRAIGHT ROAD?!?

RawDogginChixSince2000Six
How many times have you commented this..? Lol
Cthulhukitten
in hindsight, people may often do this to ward off tail-gaters. But the times they do this even though I'm keeping distance is staggering.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Terrible. Drivers. Unaware. Of. Anyone. Else.

OrochiTheMaster
I really don't get this... Just let off the accelerator, no need to brake!
fredh67
I love you 3000. Or, I wish I could up vote you 3000. If you feel like you're going to fast, STOP ACCELERATING!
AnythingMuchShorter
My mother in law is the worst about this. I don't like to ever be in the car with her. She floors it and then brakes suddenly over and over.
sjei282btsbsa828ehehth5he7s72727agsv2ya7a8aaksj4jr8r8d
Sounds like she doesnt like you either lmao
NurietaGM
This is also people who can't (and shouldn't) drive: they don't know how to keep a steady speed so they accelerate and brake constantly.

But they are very wasteful people in general. Styrofoam dishes at every meal, half used bottled water everywhere, 2nd fridge in garage.

Yeah, I could understand if it were a beer fridge. But it's full of meat. They seem to think frozen meat never expires also.
