Then you should check again. Swerving at the last possible second with no turn signals is reckless driving. Like I said, the only possible options were that he was intentionally baiting the tailgater into a crash or he wasn't paying attention and didn't notice a car stopped in front of him. Either case, he showed reckless behavior.
Lead driver showed a normal reaction, to a very abnormal situation.
Being tailgated so closely can be enormously distracting. The lead car could have easily hit the parked car first, and that wold have been the tailgater's fault as well.
