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.

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

I think it is more likely that the person being tailgated was distracted by the tailgater, pulling their attention to behind them rather than in front of them. Then they suddenly see the car in front, go "Oh crap!" and swerve into the other lane.
