Break checking tailgaters. Kosher?

[go-fish]

So, down herein Mississippi, we have a little all week cruise where about a thousand cars show up and cruise Hwy. 90 along the beach. It is mostly AARP aged street rodders and Kustoms but everyonce in awhile you will get folks who are making an attempt at Pro-Touring.
Last night on my way to a venue at the mall, I'm going about ten miles over the speed limit which was the flow of traffic. Here comes these two boneheads in theses two cars. A claped out '69 Tempest and a mid-90's Z-28.
I had a line of vehicles on the other side of me and I'm not going to speed way the hell up to get out of thier way. I could see them cutting in and out of traffic and "playfully" cutting each other off.
They both take turns trying to drive up my tailpipe because I'm impeeding thier fun.
Now, I'm driving my 94 Z-71 that is just a get around truck and I'm getting annoyed. The moose knuckle in the Tempest got so close to me that his lights disappeared behind my tailgate when I looked back.
I decided to get this guy to pay attention to distances by tapping the brakes (while keeping on the accelorater). I didn't want to get rear-ended but I wanted to scare the piss out of him. I noticed he hit his brakes pretty hard.
He backs off and they do eventually pass me when I was able to change lanes.
It scared me when I looked over to give him a look and I saw a little girl in the passenger seat who was car seat size still, standing in the seat leaning on the dash with her hands!!!
At that point I wanted to follow him and pummel his A$$ when he parked it for being an absolute idiot supreme, but one thing stopping me besides being a chill guy, my daughter was with me. She was in her Recarro booster seat.
I did get a closer look at the car in the parking lot at the mall. It was a horrible example of a car. It was slammed, in the wrong way, and he had what looked to be some heavy and blingy wheels. Oh, no car seat too.
If you guys brake check tailgaters, think twice. You already know they're the kind of driver who disregards safety, they might have un-guided toddler missles floating around in their car.
