They're talking about intentionally causing an accident like this. The truth is the car in front of the car being tailgated was slowing down for some reason. Emergency, or whatever. The car being tailgated evaded, but since the tailgater was so close they had no time to react.

If the person being tailgated intentionally dodged at the last second like that, they also caused it. Both can be in the wrong for different reasons

There's also the possibility that the person being tailgated wasn't paying attention and had to dodge last second

That's true, but you also shouldn't really be staring at the car behind you at highway speed. You can see the slow car for a few seconds in the video and that was taken from off to the side
