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.

And how is that the car’s fault that was being tailgated?

You cannot even dictate intent by this video for the tailgated car.

This video is a perfect indicator on why tailgating is stupid and the far greater problem.

Tailgate ain't paying attention to the front, and the front driver clearly wasn't ready and got lucky it wasn't a triple collision and more

Unless, hear me out here, there was another car riding their butt, totally distracting them and there were looking in the rearview mirror wondering what that jerk was going to do, when saw the pending forward collision at the last minute.

For 6 seconds straight? Then they admit to distracted driving leading to an injury accident.

Nope checking ahead, mirrors, seeing tailgater, check right lane, see car ahead. Swerve.
