WRC Croatia Rally 2021

[mknight]

Bit daft overtaking a vehicle on public highway then slamming brakes on to warm tyres. While it might need to be done to warm brakes tyres etc, some appear not to be considerate to other road users.
In that YouTube clip towards the end of the video is a tocsport Skoda that slams brakes on quite hard, Vauxhall insignia travelling behind brakes so hard the rear brake lights flash indicating heavy braking warning to following traffic. Driver of Vauxhall appears to take avoiding action by veering to the left, with an oncoming vehicle heading towards him.
A rally fan may be aware of this tyre warming procedure, Regular road users not so much.

I think you need to re-watch again.
- the Toksport Skoda is not overtaking anyone and had good distance behind (white Movisport Skoda before that overtakes a Citroen and hits brakes... but also into 40 km/h+speedbump+school zone and the Citroen basically doesn't need to hit brakes even though he touches them)

- the Insignia is far behind and accelerates in that low speed zone just after passing the cameraman (into a 40 km/h+speedbump+school zone, note that there is also a speedbump before the cameraman) which is why he closes up the distance. He even seems to continue to accelerate after the Skoda starts braking.

- reason why the Insignia is "avoiding" the Skoda to the left is because the Skoda gives a right indicator indicating he wants to stop/pull over, at that point both are doing like 10 km/h and the Insignia already stopped braking
