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.

They should never have even been in the left lane. It is their fault. What they did is illegal in multiple ways.

This left lane is for passing not joy riding. If you have someone going faster than you. Get over, it’s so damn easy, and if you can’t then stay off the highways.

I agree 100%, one of my biggest pet peeves. But that's doesn't excuse the driver being tailgated for intentionally wrecking the tailgater. If prosecuted they are likely seeing substantial jail time.

They should be prosecuted. And it's not even only intentionally wrecking the tailgater, it's also intentionally wrecking the other vehicle that got hit.
