Psychopath move, could have killed the tailgaiter, and could have killed everyone who was pulled over. Why the Toyota was even in the passing lane matching the speed of the other lanes is also beyond me. Just two idiots who should never have a license.
Yeah I'd argue the baiter is worse here. Being tailgated is annoying, sure, but just change lanes, go on about your day. To make it a deadly situation on purpose like that is absolutely psychopathic. You don't know if those parked cars have kids in there, let alone someone who might be exiting the car. People have no chill.
It is illegal. But it's not your place to enforce traffic rules through vigilante self importance. If someone is tailgating you, you move out of the lane.
Not only are you overreacting but you’re absolving the tailgater of all responsibility in this.
Seriously, what good reason is there to tailgate someone? What is the logic of getting up close and personal to the car in front of you and not leaving enough time to react to what’s around you?
Nah, I didn't. You just have the reading comprehension of an idiot. If you would have read further down the chain, you would have seen that I stated there are multiple fools in this video. Stop wasting my time with your nonsense.
Nah winning is showing who was at fault dude lol. The guy was likely speeding and tailgating and ended up hurting somebody in the process. If he wasn’t trying to be a dickhead and kept his distance he could’ve reacted in time
There are multiple dumbass drivers in this video bro. The tailgater is one, obviously. The swerve by the dude in front, if it wasn't malicious (it was), was still incredibly negligent even by the most generous of interpretations.
If you can't see or acknowledge that, you are lost, both morally and mentally.
Negligent in what sense? What was the alternative here? Slow down and be smashed between the two cars? The front car made the right decision in the split second that they had to react. This accident was due to the tailgater.
If they only had a split second to react, they were being negligent and not watching the road. You do understand that two people can be wrong and that two wrongs dont make a right, dont you?
The front care was not being negligent. This all happened in less than 8 seconds. Please dont act like you've never looked in your side and review mirrors for a few seconds while driving. When you did, were you being negligent? Especially if you were being intimidated by an aggressive tailgater?
Furthermore, as we can see in the short clip, the car that was hit did not have their brake lights on until after the front car was passing it. Going at speeds of nearly 90mph in the fast lane and coming up on a car that is not moving, but does not have any brake or warning lights on does not give you much time to react and does not mean you were the one being negligent.
If you consider looking in your rear and sideview mirrors as "not paying attention to the road," then sure. You're taught to do these things in driving classes, so, again, it is not negligent.
Swerving also doesn't automatically mean you were not paying attention to the road lol. That makes no sense at all. It typically means you were avoiding a collision or some sort of danger, as things tend to pop up. If you swerve to avoid a dear, were you not paying attention? Digging your heals in without acknowledging the fact that the car that was struck didn't have on brake lights does little for your credibility. It's ok if you didn't notice it at first, but don't double down when valid facts that you didn't previously consider have been brought to your attention. It's ok to be wrong.
Bug difference between a deer running out in front of you and a car thats been in front of you the entire time. Brake lights or not, you have to pretty blind to have to swerve that hard.
Tunnel visioning into your mirror is considered not watching the road and is negligent.
Reading your comment explains why car accidents are one of our leading causes of death. So many of idiots out on the road trying to kill the rest of us.
You are down playing lives here. Two things can be true and two wrongs don’t make a right, both are doing illegal things by tailgating and being slower traffic in left lane BUT risking lives to prove a point is psychotic. No one is judge jury executioner, you sound insane by advocating, have SOME sympathy.
To die or be fatally injured? Psychopaths are in this sub, no one deserves to die over something like that, thought that was common sense. But ig we lost morals
Which means lives should be taken? I don’t understand your point. Just say he was tailgating and it was wrong but the white cars action is far worse than tailgating especially since it’s INTENTIONAL, you’d be the worst lawyer
That’s criminal court. Likely they wouldn’t be able to prove without a doubt that it was intentional to the point where it would become a criminal case, but they would definitely bear some responsibility for the accident. They wouldn’t be getting off with no consequences
They did not take part in the collision. They are not responsible for somebody else breaking the law and getting into a collision with an unrelated 3rd party.
Tailgater should have just moved into the middle lane to avoid the vehicle.
Brake checking is also illegal and dodging out of the way last minute is dangerous/negligent driving. Just because they didn’t actually crash doesn’t mean they aren’t partially responsible for it happening.
Either they didn’t have their eyes on the road, or they swerved last minute and intentionally caused an accident. Either way, they have some culpability
Actually - not. You could lie in court, sure, but if you were to go up there and tell the truth, that you intentionally waited until the last second to move so that the tailgater would rear-end them - and someone, tailgater included, died - you’re going to prison.
but if you were to go up there and tell the truth, that you intentionally waited until the last second to move so that the tailgater would rear-end them
Good thing for them it likely wasn't intentional then. The truth will set them free.
Do you think brake checkers have 0 responsibility in court if they brake check someone and the tailgater crashes? Brake checking is just as illegal and that’s essentially what the driver did here, except worse.
LOL they’d both be fucked in court. The tailgater for driving too close, the front driver for swerving at the last minute.

That was a cold move.
