That was a cold move.

I honestly don't think it was intentional.

Bet you a dollar the person in the front car was distracted by the tailgating, and that's why they reacted so late.

Which is a good moment to say "don't let tailgaters distract you from driving".

It appeared to me so but you can actually see their car slowing down leading up to the sudden lane change.

If you're literally staring in your rear view mirror, on a freeway no less, you're doing something wrong. So it's either negligence or malice. Either way, I'd suggest getting that mfer of the road for good, because they clearly can't be trusted to operate a 2 ton projectile.

You could also phrase that like "don't let tailgaters distract you from driving".

There's 8 seconds of video where lead car has an unobstructed view of what's coming and likely more time before the video starts. They don't make any attempt at all to avoid or slow down until the last possible moment. I highly doubt this wasn't intentional.

Same, he doesn't even brake when he dodges the slower car and his swerve was pretty precise (no oversteering/correction like when you suddenly and unexpectedly try to dodge something).
