Video Transcript

Brake checking could be considered either reckless or aggressive driving. I did not see it specifically set out in the Florida Statutes, but I do believe you could be cited for either of those violations if you are found to be brake checking. That’s why it’s so important to have a dash cam that shows what’s happening in front of you. That would be something law enforcement will want to see to verify that it happened.

Otherwise, you’re going to have a person claiming that you were just tailgating them. Most importantly, it’s definitely not safe. There’s no question about that, and it could result in a citation.
