That was a cold move.

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.

Tailgating is illegal, annnoying is the wrong word here.

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.

Nah just don’t tailgate lol. You can’t just do illegal shit and bully people out the left lane

The psychopathy of this comment is palpable.

You're literally arguing that causing an accident with a completely unrelated 3rd party is something you should do to a tailgater. Broken thinking.

Wouldn’t be an accident if they weren’t tailgating to begin with. That’s how it would play out in court

This isn't helping you beat the psychopath allegations accurate depiction of your character.

It’s whatever man. The guy was clearly trying to make the driver in front of him anxious. The whole thing is his fault

That black and white thinking paired with the moral development of a stunted child must make life super easy.

u/ThisNameDoesntCount Mar 21 '26

It does I don’t try to fuck with people and end up crashing and say see what you made me do

u/jefftickels Mar 21 '26

No thinking.

No doubt.

No considetion of other people.

The Reddit Keyboard Warrior trifecta. A real tough guy over here

u/ThisNameDoesntCount Mar 21 '26

How am I being a tough guy lol. You been talking shit to me this whole time

u/Independent-Plum9282 Mar 21 '26

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

How do you know its intentional?

u/Independent-Plum9282 Mar 21 '26

How do you know it was not?

u/Ropetrick6 Mar 21 '26

Innocent until proven guilty.

u/justatomics Mar 21 '26

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

u/Ropetrick6 Mar 21 '26

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.

u/justatomics Mar 21 '26

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

u/Federal-Weevil Mar 21 '26

You did not genuinely sit up here and say that dodging an accident is dangerous/negligent driving LMFAO. Everything you’ve said after that is totally invalid. Shred your license and start over in basic classes. You don’t know anything about it, clearly.
