Brake test
|
|
A brake test, also known as a brake check, occurs when a driver deliberately brakes hard in front of another driver who is tailgating, or immediately after overtaking, causing the second driver to swerve or otherwise react quickly to avoid an accident. Brake testing and tailgating are examples of aggressive driving, and both may be punishable as vehicular assault, careless or reckless driving, or vehicular homicide if death occurs. Because of the aggressive and dangerous nature of this move in motor sports, a driver who makes such a move is often penalized. Penalties given for such actions can vary from time penalties, to exclusion from a race or event. |
