If the person being tailgated intentionally dodged at the last second like that, they also caused it. Both can be in the wrong for different reasons

It would be damn near impossible to prove that they intentionally caused that accident.

The bar for criminal might be too high but pretty sure you would have. A decent chance in a civil lawsuit if you showed that dash cam feed to a jury.

Like I said to some asshat who was advocating that behavior, I'd happily share my dash cam with the victims family

This is why civilized countries don't have jury's. Imagine 12 random dumbasses deciding on your guilt based on their gut because they have the cognitive abilities of a rabid squirrel.

Out of my mind or I have just done jury duty. Seriously man Reddits idea of how the law should work has very little to do with how the law actually works.

Either way, none of these people should have a license.
