Also doing what you just said is a classic insurance scam called "Swoop and Squat".

The smart thing to do would be just move out of the way and let them pass. Its not hard. It sounds like your out to cause an accident because your to hard headed to move over
Nope, you hit me in the back, you shouldn't have been following so closely, end of story. Worst case it gets 50/50 if I hit the brakes for absolutely no reason and that can be proven by a camera. 90% of highways are visible from DOT cameras, I'd say about 10-20% have useable feed for a court case, if that. Good point though, I'll come up with a better lie like, oh wait I know, "its a toyota, the brakes just locked up and there was nothing I could do!" The 80 mph tire marks will be much harder to deal with for you then low resolution on ramp cameras will be for me. Also, a dash cam will not show what's in front of me if you are tailgating, all it will show is my bumper because your waaaaaaay too close. Please, please forward that to the police.

Swoop and squat involves moving into a lane and slamming on the brakes, where you don't have lane control. If I'm in the lane and have control you should have been far enough from me to not hit me if a meteor landed on me and stopped me in place.

Also, I cannot feel bad for someone dying that basically plays russian roulette every day tailgating people. If I didn't get them they could have killed someone else when they eventually killed themselves. I usually try to avoid ditches and such, but sometimes its hard to pass up those really golden opportunities where they try to speed up and cut the middle lane off to get around me, only to see my brake lights flying at them and instantly close the gap they were shooting for.
