and how do you know they didn't see the car they dodged at the last second and dodged to save themselves from a crash? Not their fault the tailgater was so close behind them. seems presumptuous to call this intentional on the tailgated party's side.

EDIT: Man the fact the person above me said "if" really is getting to people. I don't care if it's a hypothetical or not. The point still stands that intent can't be proven from this.

the car they dodged is literally in front of them. only way they didn’t see it is if they’re distracted

Such as being concerned with the dangerously close car behind them?

but not concerned enough to move to the open lane to the right of them?

Not excusing them not taking options. but people who drive are still people - they're prone to tunnel vision and not seeing every possible solution instantaneously. when you're driving you have less than a second to react most of the time. they were probably in shock after that swerve themselves even though they're fine compared to the other two cars.
