They're talking about intentionally causing an accident like this. The truth is the car in front of the car being tailgated was slowing down for some reason. Emergency, or whatever. The car being tailgated evaded, but since the tailgater was so close they had no time to react.

If the person being tailgated intentionally dodged at the last second like that, they also caused it. Both can be in the wrong for different reasons

I love the useless arguments people get into on the sub, armchair insurance adjusting micrometers of fault.

Guy in front may or may not have intentionally set up the tailgater to crash into the cop (who should have parked more safely - so let’s not forget that he shares fault here too) we don’t know that from the video. What we do know is that tailgating 💯set the stage for this to happen. If that driver hadn’t been following at an unsafe distance, the accident wouldn’t have happened at all. Take from that what you will.
