Sure.... Slamming on the brakes to prove a point to a tailgating vehicle is always the right thing to do!

I drive the 10 from San Antonio to Phoenix allot and I have noticed that if a driver does not notice the flashing blue lights he will roll up next to the tractor and motion for the driver to pull over. But yeah I agree they usually are following to close and we cant see them. Thats beyond unsafe.

Just for the record if you brake check a cop for no reason other than he is tailgating you, and he hits you, you are going to lose and in a big way. Intentions to cause a accident is always a good choice.
It's kind of funny I have had more than my share of tickets most here in CA, I have to say the position of the cop behind has never been an issue.
I do agree with decreasing your speed to get a tailgater to go around is a good idea, maybe even flashing your brakelights. But I would refrain from actually braking hard.outerspacehillbilly, dieselbear, lonewolf4ad and 2 others Thank this. -
Is that so ???
To the original poster... Cops lie, and the first one he told you was he had been behind you for 7 or 8 miles.
No way in hell is a LEO going to allow you to ignore him for that length of time.
That said...I have seen drivers do it. By never looking in their mirrors. -
statikuz Thanks this.

When I've been pulled over by a LEO they ALLWAYS came up beside me and
motioned for me to pull over.. -
