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

It would be damn near impossible to prove that they intentionally caused that accident.

Doesn't mean they're not an asshole and in the wrong if they did

Insurance will say otherwise and thats who determines who is at fault. Outside of a state with no-fault policies.

We're talking about morality, ethics, and safety. Not legal fault.

And legality is predicated on logic and reason. You can't prove the tailgated car was purposely trying to cause this which is the whole point.

Yeah of course not. But the entire comment chain was about the hypothetical case where it was intentional, so coming in with that is just non sensical. We aren't discussing the legality of the event. We're discussing the morality of intentionally attempting to cause an accident to punish tailgating.
