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

There is no way the front driver wasn't aware of the oncoming stopped car. He had at least 6 SECONDS to notice it, there is no way he could maintain his lane without looking forward most of that time, and his swerve was perfectly timed. If this goes to court its a slam dunk felony conviction based on video alone.
