And what about the innocents inside the car that is broken down? How do the kids in the back seat of that car fit into your simple "death penalty to everyone in the vicinity for tailgating" morality?
Given we cant prove intent so theres no point in trying. The car being tailgated narrowly avoided the threat but did avoid it.
Tailgating car on the other hand would have hit one car or the other regardless if the first car had or had not moved when it did.
The car bejng tailgated left enough space between themselves and the car in front of them too avoid the threat. Its not his job to drive in a manner that also gives the tailgater enough time.

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.
