I have never heard of it before joining the platform and now see it almost everyday (always fails). I cant imagine stuff like that happening in germany. Why are people doing this ? What is the intention? It almost looks suicidal (sorry for strong language).
Thanks all for your help and sorry for my bad english.

It’s usually a response to tailgating, driving very close to the driver in front, or other erratic driving. The person doing it is *thinking* “Tailgating me is bad because what if I have to make a sudden stop? I will teach the person tailgating me this lesson by making a sudden stop.”
This is not genius-level reasoning, and no traffic authority endorses it. That explains all the videos of it going terribly wrong. It would probably happen less often if there was a safer way to signal “You are following me too closely.”
