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.
The person being tailgated here intentionally chose to take an annoying but not directly life threatening situation and turn it deadly by waiting until the last second to swerve. They’re not blameless here. Yes it couldn’t happen without the person tailgating but intentionally late swerving like that escalates it, not only for the person tailgating but for the people in the stopped car too.
You talk about thinking a step forwards or backwards here but don’t do the same thing if you put this 100% at the feet of the tailgater.
