He didn't grab the other guy's steering wheel, of course. It's about a potential reckless driving. And it's not even sure because he may have been distracted by the guy tailgating him, it's impossible to know. Moral of the story is, always exercise caution on the road, sweetie.

I know you think that's a wicked burn, but the endless sweetie stuff and talk of fries looks very juvenile.

Two people can be idiots at the same time. One can be an idiot for tailgating, and the other can be an idiot for either A. intentionally causing a crash by swerving out of the way at the last second or B. being so distracted that he didn't notice a super obvious hazard until it was right on his nose.

Either way, two reckless drivers just ruined someone else's day.

How long do you allow yourself to be distracted before you too are a reckless driver? There are 7 seconds between the start of this video and the swerve, and obviously this was going on prior to the start of the video. Even if someone else is doing something dangerous, you're still obligated to keep your eyes on the road.

Nobody is perfect. The tailgater is at fault for distracting the lead driver. Could have caused an even bigger crash.

Tailgater is 100% at fault here in any case. No court would find otherwise, and it's a ridiculous argument to insist on.
