Imagine a scenario where bunch of those animals brake check you, and then your insurance company calls you up and says "Hey jgalt212, we're seeing that you your forward collion avoidance system got activated too many times this year. We're going to flag you as a tailgater and up your premium by %80. Have a lovely day."

Playing devil's advocate, the answer is that brake checking only works if you are tailgating. If you increase following distance such that you cannot be brake checked, the insurance company has succeeded in making your driving habits safer.

As opposed to the jackass whose pulling high lateral G's and going 90 on the freeway. I think I can explain my way out of the insurance hike easier than the aforementioned jackass--who actually should be deemed uninsurable.
