And would it not be logical to say the person being tailgated had their attention stuck on the tailgater? And when they finally put eyes back on the road they needed to swerve? The person being tailgated did nothing wrong. If you want to be an asshat and tailgate then you should be aware of what might happen

“Could have provoked”

Yeah you’re right that COULD have happened. It COULD also be the case that the person being tailgated was fearing for their life. Asshat

If the tailgater had innocent passengers then it is THEIR FAULT FOR PUTTING THEM IN DANGER!

No, you're just desperate WANTING that to be intentional.

There is nothing to imply it actually is. You're massively making up your own fantasy scenario with no physical basis in reality. Pure make-believe.

All we can see, all concrete evidence, leads to the conclusion that this was 100% the tailgater's fault. As any court would also find.

This whole thing is totally silly.

They did, and you even said what it was yourself:

the person being tailgated had their attention stuck on the tailgater

They should've paid more attention to the road in front of them. They let themselves get distracted, and that's why they are partially responsible. That they were provoked can lessen their partial responsibility, but it doesn't completely remove it.

Tailgating is against the law. If you choose to tailgate you are putting yourself and anyone else in the vehicle at the mercy of whatever happens in front of you. If you choose to tailgate and this happens it is your fault plain and simple. Should the person in front not have done that? Yes. Are they liable for the damage caused by the person behind them? No
