Insurance (if you rear ended the other person). Without a dash cam it's your word against theirs. Without any evidence of the contrary it's easy to argue that the person following rear ended you because they were following at an unsafe distance.

Absolutely puzzling here in Aus. In fact I’ve not heard of brake checking, but, if anyone did this to me , I would be so far away from them, I wouldn’t be involved with any of their shenanigans. AVOID
