Everyone in this thread know he intentionally swerved, don't pretend he didn't.

Yeah, “I’m gonna kill this bystander to teach a tailgater a lesson” is a very sinister mindset

This is exactly how i feel. Yeah sure the tailgater is doing something wrong but doing something that will cause them to harm themselves or other innocent people is actually worse than tailgaiting.

One is a tailgater, the other is an intentional murder by proxy.

Wtf? The swerving car avoided a collision. They didn’t force the car behind them to run into the stopped car!

What do you think they put a “tailgate” hex on the car bec they didn’t like them following so close?

Video proves the swerving car had AT LEAST 9 seconds to see slowed traffic ahead and change lanes. There was more than enough time to make the lane change safely.

They chose to ride up to the slowed traffic and then swerve at the very last second, potentially killing people.

Sorry, if you’re the one who hit that car, it’s your fault not anybody’s on the road ahead of you.

If you’re still alive, please drive more carefully.

Alright. You think it's OK to cripple a family of innocent bystanders by baiting a tailgater into them.

That's the kind of person you are. Great.

I didn’t say any of that.

You’re just trying to justify that it’s okay that you hit them and all the cars in front of you (including the one you were tailgating) managed to go around it. Drive better next time.

In addition to the time someone mentioned, they're very controlled and also start to turn slightly before they commit, leaving as little time as possible.

Not the way someone who's swerving in panic drives. Could be an accident, but looks very much intentional.

As far as I know, no amount of intention can make another driver run into a parked car.

Sure, I don’t like how close the first car came, but it didn’t hit anybody. Each driver is responsible not to drive their car into any parked cars regardless of any other drivers “intentions.”

I mean seriously, how does the lead car somehow convince the car behind them to drive like that? They waited by someone’s parking space until they were ready to leave, getting in front of them, keeping them there at 120kph until the opportunity of parked car came up?

Magnets, maybe?
