If someone brake checks you and you smash into them, it's your fault. You need to leave enough space to safely come to a stop regardless of the situation.
What if a deer runs across the road or some other situation requiring emergency braking? You are 100% in the wrong if you read end someone. Three seconds minimum following distance

Legally if it’s proven that you were brake checked the brake checker is at fault.
It’s just hard to prove.

You are wrong. Maybe In a place like Rutland where people are uncivilized they automatically revert to some antiquated rule akin to burning witches because ducks float or something like that but in the rest of the world, that is not the case. In fact in The rest of non Rutland Vermont you are considered the victim of road rage and the person who intentionally caused an accident can be charged with reckless driving.
Please, explain how a person charged with reckless driving, accident resulting is not at fault?

Because what if they slam on the brakes because there's a child running into the road? What if there's an animal? Or any other of a billion reasons to slam on the brakes. You need to give adequate distance to the person in front of you.

If you cut someone off and then slam on your breaks, they are not at fault. If they have a dashcam you are screwed and your insurance will have to pay for you deciding to drive like an idiot.

sure, if you swerve into their lane and slam the brakes. that's not the premise of 99.99% of brake checks, in which the person you're following is already in your lane. fair enough on swerving in first though
and finally I'm not trying to le reddit you but *brakes

I didn't look up where you live. You went off when someone called Rutland shitty and I remembered as I trolled you witch Rutland having the second highest crime rate in the state and you got all in a tizzy. I figured it worked once, may as well try again.
As for you examples, you are describing an accident not reckless driving and your 100% claim is 100% wrong.
Ohhh... And Rutland is shitty.
