Brake checking is an exclusively American thing. I can’t recall anybody in Europe brake checking anybody in the 20 years I drove there, across all countries (Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, etc), people just get out of the left lane naturally, and who cares if somebody goes faster?

I will never understand this hostile tension in US roads.

In Germany you're more likely to get "reverse brake checked" - with an M5 3cm from your rear bumper signaling to pass... :-)

Just Google video search for "brake check insert EU country" and you'll find plenty of examples.
