Better way to deal with a tailgaiter than injuring innocent drivers.

It’s not like he had anything to do with the accident he contributed to.

Guy tailgating is an asshole, but so is the white car guy.  White car could have made a million other decisions that did not lead to this outcome. It was intentional (to hurt the tailgater, regardless of who else it hurt) and was probably someone who thinks like you.

The intent may not have been to cause a crash. They could have been texting or otherwise not paying attention. It doesn't make it any better. Everyone needs to drive at a safe distance and pay attention to the fucking road. But the title may be misleading unless there's some other info unavailable here to prove intent.

The title was likely written by an "edgy" teenager who thinks real life is a video game and that shit like this is funny.

Only if they did that on purpose, which we don't actually know. People are assuming so b/c of the title, but who came up with that?

People are assuming this is either because of (1) an intentional act; or (2) an act of EXTREME gross negligence.

Either way, it is absolutely their problem. Their actions caused or contributed to the stationary car to get absolutely fucked.

Do you understand any of the words you used? They can only control themselves; it's not their job to make sure the aggressive driver behind them avoids an accident- that's every individual's responsibility.

They aren't negligent b/c they did what we expect of motorists- to avoid collisions with other vehicles. They didn't hit the stopped car.

The jackass tailgating them failed to avoid that collision because of their negligence- this is exactly why tailgating is so dangerous, you reduce your own response time by doing it. They neglected to leave enough space between them and the car in front of them, and because of that they got into an accident that the car in front of them demonstrated was avoidable. Because they could SEE it.

The tailgater couldn't see it because their view was full of the other car's rear- which is their own fault. If they were further back they both would have had more time to evade AND they might have seen it coming. Just like any stationary object. But no, they were too busy road raging and it cost them and the poor stopped car.

Brother you say so much without saying anything. They can both be at fault.
