Personally, no I've never done that and I agree that it would require a very serious situation to warrant that type of punishment.
A friend was driving on the freeway and was being tailgated by some idiot, so she tapped her brakes as a warning for him to back off. However, this fellla overtook her and slammed on his brakes causing her to rear-end him. There was no traffic ahead or any reason to do this, he did it purely out of spite. The insurer's rule, is that if you rear-end someone, it is your fault, period. So she ended up with a written off car, an increased insurance premium and she had to pay the $800 excess on the repairs of his car. Do late one night after his car was fresh from the bodyshop, her husband and friends (I wasn't there) poured it all over this arsehole's car.
