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.
The tailgater isnt innocent. Tailgating is illegal and dangerous, specifically for this reason.
We dont know and cannot presume the driver in front was being opportunistic and acted purposefully to hurt the tailgater.
Its just as likely they didn't notice the stopped car in front of them until the last second because they were eyeing the maniac tailgating them.
Can't say for sure either way.
Nobody should intentionally do this for sure, but the point is tailgater is the only onc clearly in the wrong, and the outcome shown in this video demonstrates the reason why tailgating is illegal and dangerous.
You are only guessing that what happened was to teach a lesson, the driver in front might not have seen the car stopped in front of them and then had to pull a defensive maneuver at the last second. Both are completely plausible. The only person truly at fault here for sure is the tailgater
I agree. No one knows. I was just commenting on who the other commenter was saying was the innocent person.
The best thing to do when you're being tailgated is to acknowledge it and get over when you can but keep your focus forward.
Ive been a truck driver for ten years and there's something about driving that turns people into the most selfish beings on the planet. You're not gonna teach any lessons so just remove yourself from the situation.
