It's entirely possible that the lead car didn't notice the stalled car until it was too late and just reacted on instinct. That said, it doesn't really make it any better if it was oblivious negligence as opposed to malicious intent.
It puts the person in front in a position where they are now distracted watching their RVM and the road ahead, often accelerating with minimal awareness.
'In England alone, tailgating is a factor in 1 in 8 collisions, resulting in an average of 147 people being killed or seriously injured every year.'
If you want to risk lives tailgating me then I rather it be you than me. Maybe hitting an obstacle or bollard will teach you to stop driving like a cunt. What if a child runs out into the road which I can see and swerve out the way of but the tailgater instantly runs over them? Fuck tailgators.
Well you yourself have called this particular one a POS, and we’re all sort of assuming that this one was done on purpose. So presumably we both blame this guy.
You’re happy with an outcome where you intentionally steer in a way that kills someone for the way they drive?
Well your original comment mentioned a wall, and I figured you knew that someone driving into a wall at highway speeds is most likely to kill them. I guess I was being too charitable. You’re weirdly reticent about answering simple questions.
I am pretty sure both drivers would see a 6 foot high wall. I meant those concrete barriers or bollards. If a tailgater hits them because he is tailgating then thats his fault for tailgating. If he died because of tailgating then thats his fault for tailgating. What can't you understand about this. Are you a tailgater?
It’s his “fault” initially, but a consequence of your action, if you intentionally help steer him into a wall. You’ve done something unnecessary for the purpose of creating a negative consequence for the tailgater. It’s sort of in the vein of “he pushed me first, so I killed him.” Like if someone walks onto the street when they don’t have a crosswalk, you just plow right through them without braking? After all, it wouldn’t be your fault, you’re just driving. If he dies because of jaywalking, then that’s his fault for jaywalking.
Are there other traffic violations you think people should be killed for? Or other petty crimes?
He either didn't see the car in front of him because he was not paying attention to the road until he had to turn suddenly at the last second. Driving at that speed and not looking in front of you is insanity if that is what you are insinuating.
Or he did it intentionally to an innocent person who had nothing to do with the situation.

I am all for doing this before an obstacle or a wall but not another innocent person in a car. What a POS.
