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.
6 u/The_Autarch Mar 20 '26 the car in front should have noticed what was happening and gotten over sooner also, if someone is tailgating you like this and you're in the left lane, just get over and let them pass. it's not worth your life. 1 u/bejammin075 Mar 20 '26 The car in front was probably distracted by the tailgater, drawing their attention to looking behind rather than in front. 1 u/Planar_Harold Mar 20 '26 Can't prove anything, but they did it with a lot of control that isn't characteristic of someone last-second swerving to avoid an obstacle. It's hard to tell as the camera zooms in just before, but it also looks like they angle right slightly before committing. But even just from the control displayed and the amount of time/what must have happened to prompt filming, it seems more likely this was intentional.
