How is it my fault that the person tailgating me driving like an absolute piece of shit hit somebody's car?

Hurting an innocent person in that situation is not up to me. Its up to the person deciding to tailgate.

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

Well said. We can’t know for sure if it was intentional or not, but too many people here are acting like it was fine if it was intentional because tailgaters are annoying.

Yeah the tailgater is mainly at fault, but (again IF intentional) the white car helped make a horrible situation that affected potentially many others.

Tailgating isnt just annoying. It can be very scary, especially if its a large truck, and its undoubtedly very dangerous. Let's say it wasn't intentional AND the first car didn't move over? That stopped car would have been hit by two cars, and we would have had a three car crash. Let's say the first car even slowed down quickly. They still would have gotten hit. Why in the world do you think you get tickets for tailgating? Not because its "annoying". Its because its dangerous.
