Yes willfully endangering.
Someone is following too close so you slam on the brakes knowing full well that they probably will (and in fact did) hit you. You could have been reasonable and pulled over, then tracked them down and yelled at them if you thought it was necessary, but intentionally causing an accident, yeah, that is totally a great thing to do because you hate tailgaters.

And if intentionally causing an accident is your idea of a good mood, I'd really hate to see you in a bad mood.

Yelling at someone because they hit you is one thing. Purposefully causing someone to hit you so that you can chase them down and yell at them is just freakin' STUPID.

I disagree, if I'm not putting mysef in any danger and some jack ass is 3 feet off my bumper and I don't care too much for my car, you can bet they'll see a flash of brakelights before they eat bumper. [/b][/quote]
I don't know man, that is a great example of two wrongs don't make a right. What if the guy tailgating you swerves and goes into oncommimg traffic? What if he tries to swerve and sideswipes someone else who runs off the road and hits a pedestrian? What if he hits you and you skid into another lane?

Sure, what he is doing is dangerous, but by slamming on the brakes you are creating another (probably worse) danger, when you could have just pulled over and gotten rid of the problem.

I'm not debating that the guy doing the tailgating isn't a jerk, but by hitting the brakes so he hits you, you are probably the bigger/more dangerous jerk.
