That photo serves as a perfect metaphor for when Deadspin cross links its readers over to Jezebel.

CA lawyer here - California work comp benefits are attractive to athletes because it is one of the very few states that acknowledge cumulative trauma (ongoing, wear-and-tear) injuries for athletes.

So an athlete with a long career can get full CA work comp benefits if they can get CA jurisdiction, which isn’t that…

I guess I’ll have to watch “Bring It On” in slow motion again to research the proper response to the “Sausage Fest” cheer.

Good point, and now that you say it. He likely was trying to cause a wreck. Years later I’m still boggled as to why? Oh well. Life goes on.

lol wut?

Agreed. I’m not sure how anyone can blame the SUV that hit its brakes if they watch the video. He or she didn’t have a chance to move over before the vehicle behind him was practically on top of him.

What about putting your vehicle unsafely close to another at a high rate of speed? Who is actually causing the dangerous situation?

If you can’t brake fast enough to avoid a collision with the person in front of you, then you shouldn’t be driving that close to them. That’s why when you hit someone from behind it’s always your fault. Is the person in front a dick? Yes. Is the person behind at fault? Also yes.

Not really though. By the time he was far enough ahead of the camera truck to move over, he was basically side-by-side with the vehicle entering the highway.

Yeah, on further review of the tape, I almost agree with you. The brake-checker was travelling faster than the traffic in the right lane, and therefore had every right to be in the left lane and remain there until it was safe to pull in to the right lane, which means waiting until after the on-ramp, where a car was…

He has a huge........impact!

To everyone whose first reaction has been “the slow car in the left lane should get out of the way”, please note a few things after you wipe the drool from your mouths.

Not so wreckless this time

I just can’t fathom a world where the front driver who flashed their brakes is held responsible for the rear driver’s inability to maintain control of their vehicle. They didn’t contact, so everything that happened is completely the fault of the rear driver. The same thing would have happened if a deer ran out in…

When has a slow driver ever moved over because they were being tailgated?

I would also add that “brake checking” is completely legal, while tailgating is often ticketed as “wreckless driving.” And yet we are scoffing at the law abiding citizen and feeling sympathetic for the aggressive dumbass? Clearly I don’t belong with this group of readers...

Yikes, no comments on how easily that Trailblazer lost it. That is what I found most shocking.

The law in many (most?) states that the left lane shall be yielded to faster traffic, with specific speeds never mentioned.

I dunno man. Isn’t this EXACTLY why you brake-check someone? :)
