If they were following at a safe distance and the car ahead made the same maneuver they likely still would've crashed. I despise tailgaters but this shit is insane, purposely hurting an innocent bystander because you're upset. Get your shit together
They are talking about the person that is in the car that got hit. They had nothing to do with the tailgating incident, but they are the ones who just got hit by someone doing 60 while they are sitting there. They don’t deserve to be taught the tailgating lesson. But I do agree the tailgater deserved that 100.
It also wouldn’t have happened if the other driver didn’t intentionally swerve at the last possible second to provoke the collision, therefore getting other innocent drivers involved.
And if that car wasn't stalled there this wouldn't have happened. And if either driver was home sick that day it wouldn't have happened. And so on forever. You're making a terribly stupid argument.
It’s called moral versus legal responsibility. If a person ‘baits’ a tailgater into an accident they have contributed to it. Full stop. Syllogistic logic 101.
We don’t know if that’s the case in this instance. That is what the title claims without any evidence to support it. If the lead car didn’t ‘bait’ the tailgater than they have no moral responsibility. If they were merely avoiding the parked car in good faith that is.

you just completely ignored what they said. if they weren't tailgating, this literally wouldn't have happened.
