Traffic Check
From Burnopedia, the Burnout wiki
Traffic checking is the act of shunting or slamming traffic. It first appeared in Burnout Revenge, allowing the player to slam any car out of their way, so long as the target was not a large vehicle or going the opposite direction as the player is.
Traffic checking was improved in Burnout Paradise. In Paradise, the Strength of a vehicle was the determining factor of the success rate of a check. It is possible to hit huge vehicles in Paradise, so long as the car the player is driving is strong enough to check it and not crash instead.
Checking traffic into a rival will result in a Traffic Check Takedown.
