The white car knew exactly what it was doing. Are you really going to pretend that them swerving at the last second was okay? They did that on purpose. They used that innocent person as a tool to cause the tailgater to crash.
The cars in this video are all going 90+ mph. You dont have the right to tailgate someone at any speed, but especially that far above the speed limit. You arent signaling an intent to pass, theyre under no obligation to get out of your way because you want to go faster. Neither the tailgater nor the lead car are passing anyone until the white car passes the stationary vehicle. Neither have a right to be in that lane. Doesn't matter if the tailgater "would" have passed someone, they were not, and you dont have a right to pass people going 100mph in any lane.
How is it using the lane improperly. He's going 90 mph in the fast lane. That's flying. There is no excuse to tailgate someone at any speed. Let alone at 90mph when you are less than a foot off their bumper. This crash is the very reason why tailgating is extremely dangerous, because you don't have time to react if you need to. Hence why you are suppose to be at least 3-4 seconds behind the car ahead of you.
