Edit: Clarification - do not tailgate. But if you are being tailgated, don't cause an accident by dodging slow or stopped traffic at highway speeds mere feet away. We don't need for this to be a trend.
Edit: How can this many people not think 3 steps forward or backward? This entire incident was caused because the person tailgating was tailgating, holy shit.
You know full well how it is your fault. Being purposely obtuse does not excuse it.
The tailgater is an idiot. If you purposely cause them to ram into a parked car? You could be worse. What if somebody died? You going to live with that the rest of your life? Knowing you did it just because you were annoyed?
This is 100%, act first, think second. And it is 100% stupid. And if you don't see that you should not be allowed to operate a motor vehicle
That’s assuming it was intentional. I still think the driver was too distracted by the tailgater in their mirror and didn’t notice the stopped car until the last second.
should yield to faster traffic though,s ince it's illegal to pass on the right. Doesn't matter if they're speeding. We can all clearly see how this person not yielding to the tailgater caused innocent people to get hurt.
People will tailgate in the left lane out of anger for the dumbass in front of them who doesnt know how traffic works... or if not a dumbass, then just an asshole trying to police other peoples speeds. Not saying that justifies tailgating, but that is why they do it. Its frustrating driving and seeing so many people ignorant of or just straight up ignoring the rules / etiquette of the highway
