The ILLEGAL act of intentionally slamming your own brakes in order for another driver tailgating you to rear-end your own car.
Many people do not realize it, but it is the person who slammed on his/her brakes that are at fault, not the tailgater.
If the police finds out about this, the tailgater will most likely be cited for following too close, and fined, but the brake checker will be arrested for reckless driving, and charged with a misdemeanor (or felony if someone gets injured or killed).
