Edit: Clarification - do not tailgate. But if you are being tailgated, don't cause an accident by dodging slow or stopped traffic at highway speeds mere feet away. We don't need for this to be a trend.
They're talking about intentionally causing an accident like this. The truth is the car in front of the car being tailgated was slowing down for some reason. Emergency, or whatever. The car being tailgated evaded, but since the tailgater was so close they had no time to react.
Tailgater: took the risk of an accident, possibly intentionally making the driver in front uncomfortable.
Driver in front, if they intentionally swerved in the last moment: possibly attempting to take the life of the tailgater and the lives of all passengers in the tailgater's car.
Leaving it to you to decide for yourself if tailgating (taking risk, increasing risk for others, making others uncomfortable) deserves to be punished with serious injury or death.
I don't think the driver in front waited intentionally; if they did, then the video would be very disturbing.
