brake checks can only be held against you if you actually lock up the brakes like the drunk guy did. If you hit them just enough to say back-off, I think its considered completely different.
so wait ... you get by the guy and could easily have just kept going but instead you purposely came to a sudden stop with him right behind you?
talk about fucking retarded :shake:
that cop should have ticketed you for wreckless driving as well if he knew that. thats just as dangerous as what that guy was doing and the fact he hit you was completely your fault
That might come back to haunt you in court. I dunno about PA but here the law is if you are the rear ender, its your fault 99.9% of the time. If you did something like brake checking the insurance companies (and later the law) would consider that fraud (they would view this as an accident you caused to wreck someone on purpose and would pin the "for financial gain" part of it on you as well).
but the other driver was drunk so that supercedes the brake check.
Insurance companies can fight it out but at the end the drunk guy shouldnt of been on the road.

PA is a "no fault" state. I used to live there. h:
:chuckles: I wasnt saying hes fucked here. I thinks the odds are on his side (Darkstarr's). I was only saying that to keep all loose ends tied its always safer for you to know when to keep your mouth shut.
Oh, and I don't think alot of people understand this until they appear before a judge with an attorney, and go through the motions first hand.
