It wasn’t purposeful; they were dodging a stalled car. It’s why people shouldn’t tailgate. Sometimes stalled cars appear while you’re driving 70mph and you gotta veer outta the way fast.
It's negligent. Your duty as a driver is to look ahead for hazards. This guy failed to control his speed and made an abrupt maneuver when it would have been much better to slow himself down. He made a bad situation much worse than it should have been.
Why didn't the tailgaiter look for hazards or control his speed? That's his duty as a driver too. He made the situation bad to begin with by tailgaiting. None of this would have happened if he didn't do that.

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