Settle a liability debate?

An emergency stop is one manoeuvre where MSM is not appropriate.

The OP does not mention an emergency stop, it says "stops in flowing traffic to let someone out of a junction".

I wasn't responding to the OP, but to sevenhills, whose post I quoted.

However, the OP mentioned a driver who failed to make an emergency stop!

I know people that have brake checked others and taken no liability from the resulting crash.

Sure, with no dash cam footage that could well happen. Even if the BMW behind is on your bumper and are at fault for not leaving space, if you brake check them and they crash or report you and have footage of you doing it, plod may well come and have a word with you and insurer might well be less favourable

No, not could well happen, it's happened. No questions asked by either party insurers. Settled in less than 16hours, no police interest. With dash cam footage it could well be different but that's not something I know about.

That's what I said, it could well happen that someone gets away with it. The number of cars with dash cams now though, means there is a very good chance that brake checking someone will be caught by the person behind or a witness

It has happened, not could well.

Again, it could well happen. You are some random anonymous person on the internet, just as I am, you have no evidence to support your claim so suggesting people will get away with it is meaningless - not least as it's bad driving and as I said, these days it's far more likely you would be on dash cam

No, not could well, did and has. Why must this be repeated?
