Everyone talks about brake stabs. I don't get them.

From the Driver’s Seat · Jun 20, 2026 · v14.3.3

There's a lot of talk online about "brake stabs" — the car jabbing the brakes for no good reason. I keep hearing about it, and honestly, I don't run into it. Maybe it's the kind of driving I do, or maybe it just doesn't catch my attention, but it hasn't been a problem for me. And I think I'd notice — a real brake stab would jerk the car enough to get my attention. I can't point to a single specific time it happened to me. So either I'm lucky with the roads I'm on, or it's not as widespread as the forums make it sound. From my seat, it's a non-issue.
