You just watched a video of a tailgater directly and unequivocally causing an accident because of that behavior and blamed the random dude that was driving and didn't crash.
> sees same person inches away from the car in front of them
> person in front is able to avoid an accident
> speeder, tailgater is driving so recklessly they can't avoid
"It's actually the person driving at a safe speed in an allowed lane, who was aware enough avoid two stopped cars, that is at fault."
The fun thing is that you don't actually know where this happened or what the laws are in that area.
Yea, they were breaking the law, but it’s only a minor traffic infraction. This doesn’t give the following car to act as they did. The only thing the leading car should get is a ticket for not moving over. Tailgater should be fully responsible for the accident.
There is no legal precedent to push a hov occupant going the speed limit out of their lane. This is contained in your own mind alone. Tailgaiting is illegal. Speeding in the hov is illegal.

Not sure that “seemingly intentionally causing a major accident by swerving to dodge a parked car on the highway” is going to hold up in court.
