Does the law allow you to stop your vehicle abruptly while driving?

I believe the law does allow you to do so,
but you may need to have a good reason to tell a cop,
in case they witness you doing it, or
there's traffic behind following too closely
that leads to accident or close miss.

Unless absolutely necessary to avoid an accident, no. You'll likely get hit if you do that.

If you're talking about stopping just for the he77 of it NO. If you're talking about stopping to cause the driver behind you to wreck, NO. If you're talking about to avoid a collision, YES.

No you are no supposed to stop abruptly while driving. By resorting to this you are dangering other people. Usually clearly not in your case when you get your license you are taught on how to break and to avoid unnecessary breaking.

I cannot say about Law; but common sense does not allow this.

No, unless traffic warrants it - like if everything comes to a screeching halt.
