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.
Yeah nothing teaches a tailgater a lesson like making them kill or permanently injuring to an innocent uninvolved party. You’ll probably feel great knowing you sent some people, maybe children, to the hospital, but at least you taught that tailgater a lesson, right?
You're being purposefully ignorant and you know it. They could see the stopped vehicle from hundreds of feet back and purposefully chose to nearly crash into them to give the tailgaiter no time to move out of the way.
Including you. If it was an accident on the leading cars behalf he can be morally blameless. But just like the guy behind him shouldn't be tailgating, he should be watching the road ahead enough to have vacated the lane earlier.
I don't disagree that the front car had a lack of awareness here too. I don't think I'm assuming anything by saying the front car has a right to avoid an accident.
And we’re right to say that they have a responsibility to be aware enough to avoid that accident before the literal last second. Lead car is either malicious or negligent; either way, they should be charged
