(8,681 posts)29. I only ever brake checked one time.
It almost caused a road rage incident, and I haven't repeated it.
I have developed and rolled out a milder form of retribution. If the offender is behind me in the right lane and I am making a right turn, I do it eeeeeeever so slowly. Deaccelerate reaalllllly gradually. Put on my right-hand turn signal at the last minute (don't want to break the law). Then reeaaallly reaaallly gingerly and cautiously make my right turn. Lots of brake.

No. This is new technology. Not intersection cameras or masked vehicles/trucks with the equipment...
