Brake Tapping and Your Safety
Sometimes driving can be dangerous, especially if you are at the mercy of reckless drivers. One type of driving behavior that is especially dangerous is brake tapping – when a driver in front of you pushes down on their brakes abruptly, causing you to bump into them. If speeds are high enough, this can cause a serious car accident, resulting in injuries and expensive repair costs. However, because brake tapping is considered a reckless behavior, you may be able to hold the driver responsible for this dangerous action.

Dangers of Brake Tapping
The clearest danger of brake tapping is a rear-end collision with you and the driver of the car in front of you. If a collision occurs, you could be subject to injuries such as:
- Neck strain
- Broken bones / fractures
- Spinal cord injuries
- Lacerations / contusions
- Death
These can be very serious injuries, the treatment and recovery from which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, depending on the severity of an accident.
