Video of the incident shows the 2006 Infiniti M35x traveling between 22 and 29 miles per hour north up Van Houten Avenue before the driver was stopped. The officer admits in the recording that he braked only because he felt the motorist behind him was following too closely. As a result, the driver was forced to brake quickly in the middle of the road. |

Having towed our 32’ RV across the country I will say pulling in-front of you with 10’ to spare takes skilzzz! I find for the most part truckers drive pretty well, especially the long haul trucks. Occasionally we have run into a crazy trucker, but much more rare than crazy people in cars. One of my all time favorite things while towing the RV was on ramps. I mean… I know the average person isn’t great at physics or math… I’m not. However I somehow seem to instinctively know that driving my smart car next to a massive truck and trailer at the same speed as them when I KNOW my lane is about to end…. will not end well for me. You would be surprised how many people do not posses such instincts. |

comprehending? You say brake checking isn't citable, yet I produce you two times brake checking was cited in two wreckless driving citations in the state of NJ. We see what happens in the original video. I am classifying both drivers as driving recklessly. You want to give the truck a pass and that's completely wrong. Any driver doing what either of these two did should have their license suspended.

lol, you've got to pull me over first. I'm neither one of these drivers. Maybe you're reading comprehension is off but you should go back and see that I clearly stated the Honda was in the wrong as well from my first comment on.

Trust me, I give truckers the benefit of the doubt every time (just like I give it to police officers), but once something happens so many times, it's just like man, can I get a witness?

THERE IS NO VEHICLE CODE VIOLATION SPECIFIC TO BRAKE CHECKING. ^^^Read that again three times. There ARE things that fall into the category of reckless driving when you can ARTICULATE the wanton nature of the act. Brake checking, in and of itself, is NOT a violation. ^^^Read that again three times. If I write a citation because an intentional action behind the wheel was done in a reckless/wanton manner, I write the citation for reckless driving. Just because YOU feel the truck driver was reckless doesn't mean he truly met that criteria. Your feelings do not equate to a violation of law. We aren't going to agree, so let's just move on. I'm the one out here working the road and going to court over these matters. I know what the courts look for to establish a violation of the statute. |

funny, when I worked in Law Enforcement both would have been pulled over and then I would have seen them in traffic court.

Accord person is a loser for sure, and the main party at fault. They strike me as the reckless Nissan Altima-type of driver.
This also reinforces why I despise pickup trucks so much. They are a symbol of the average American's excess, unnecessary aggression, and selfish egos for a reason. They are routinely driven by assholes regardless of location.

Never have I once seen or heard of police enforcing the "keep right except to pass" law. Must not be lucrative enough a ticket for the county.

P.S. Very little citation revenue actually comes to the city/county departments. |
