from the link:
The Subaru came from behind at around 100 mph in moderate morning traffic. He cut from the fast lane to the slow lane and got trapped behind this Lexus. Subaru was honking and tailgating for a mile or two. Lexus remained calm with the Subaru behind him and maintained a slow but constant speed. Lexus never brake checked Subaru. Subaru then passes Lexus on the shoulder. 0:02 rolls down window and throws something at Lexus. Once in front of the Lexus he starts brake checking him. The Lexus came close to crashing into him twice. The Subaru threw a couple of bottles at him later at the interchange and they both went on their merry ways on different freeways.


wow, the Lexus driver has some good reflexes, but should have backed off. ain't worth messin with the crazies out there.

Why would the WRX brake check them?!?! Did they want the Lexus to crash into them, causing their car to be damaged? What do you get out of that? This makes no sense to me.

What a shame. I noticed that there was a disabled car on the shoulder there. That could have turned out really ugly for someone if one of them had ran off of the road.

You know it would be pretty damn easy to do so. One camera in back one in front of rearview mirror. And a SD card in a slot in the stereo for the video feed. Anymore these days you need to protect yourself. Too many strung out psychos out there.
I can tell you that sometimes I wanna drop a few 3/4 inch bolts out my driver window at some tailgating moron. But that would put me in that psycho moron category

Because people are just crazy. I don't think the Subaru driver thought far enough ahead beyond wanting to "teach the LEXUS driver a lesson". What lesson I don't know. Of they did hit I would of pulled over and made sure the CHP officer saw the road rage incident.
Lots of innocent people could of gotten hurt simply because some jerk off was in a hurry.

Business as usual around any cars that display California license plates. I didn't see any fingers flying though. They must be slipping.
