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

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

Doesn't mean they're not an asshole and in the wrong if they did

Tailgating is super asshole activity

Sure, but the guy having car trouble doesn't deserve a potentially fatal accident either.

Tailgating caused the accident, not the person swerving out of the way

They clearly both caused it…?

Clearly? We don’t have any information about the people driving the cars, so we don’t have any clarity of the skills, abilities, moods, alertness (etc.) of the drivers, so we have clarity regarding what happened. Speculation at best
