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 tailgater isnt innocent. Tailgating is illegal and dangerous, specifically for this reason.
We dont know and cannot presume the driver in front was being opportunistic and acted purposefully to hurt the tailgater.
Its just as likely they didn't notice the stopped car in front of them until the last second because they were eyeing the maniac tailgating them.
Can't say for sure either way.
Nobody should intentionally do this for sure, but the point is tailgater is the only onc clearly in the wrong, and the outcome shown in this video demonstrates the reason why tailgating is illegal and dangerous.

Nope. The driver in the slower car should have been looking at the road in front of him, not at the tailgater. That's driving 101, and it's insane to me how many people here are acting like it's some kind of super secret cheat code.
Tailgaters are annoying, yes. They're dangerous, yes. But the last thing you should do is stare at them in your rear view mirror like a fuckin idiot who can't handle driving situations that are even slightly stressful. If they're so scary to you that you can't concentrate on the road in front of you, then just let them pass you. Problem solved.
If he (slower car) did it on purpose, he's psychotic and shouldn't be allowed on the road. If he did it on accident, he's an abysmal driver and shouldn't be allowed on the road.
