BRAKE CHECKING A COP WORKS! IF YOU GOT THE GUTS!

About This Video

Brake checking a police vehicle is a high-risk topic for truck drivers because sudden braking can leave little room to react. Keep a safe following distance, stay predictable, and make braking decisions for traffic and road conditions—not to provoke another driver. A tense interaction on the road is no reason to add an abrupt maneuver that could put others at risk.

Key Takeaways

• Leave space so you have room to brake smoothly.
• Stay predictable; don’t brake to provoke another driver.
