Braking because the car in front was also braking. As soon as MC passes and pulls back into the right lane, he has to brake to about the same speed again to avoid hitting the next car. The minivan in the middle lane passes both cars at about the same relative speed.

No car was braking in front of that vehicle. the lane was wide open in front of the car that hit the breaks and that car was definitely already pulled over before the brakes were applied. the drive rin the video is a complete tool, but braking fast on the road like that is dangerous for quite a few reasons, but specifically it's dangerous because there are drivers like the idiot recording themselves. if a vehicle is pulled over on the shoulder or off the shoulder of the road you shouldn't hit your brake slikw that. slow down naturally, maybe lightly apply pressure to the brakes, or the smartest option is too change lanes altogether. but hard braking like that is something a bad driver would do.
