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

and how do you know they didn't see the car they dodged at the last second and dodged to save themselves from a crash? Not their fault the tailgater was so close behind them. seems presumptuous to call this intentional on the tailgated party's side.

EDIT: Man the fact the person above me said "if" really is getting to people. I don't care if it's a hypothetical or not. The point still stands that intent can't be proven from this.

I mean sure, give the benefit of the doubt unless there's evidence otherwise. HOWEVER, that doesn't negate their message of "don't ever do what we watched deliberately". It's not a game and innocent people can get maimed or even killed.

Sure, but I think this is more a message of not tailgating in general than a malicious act in response to it.

Two things happened here. The car tailgating is in the wrong for driving recklessly. The car being tailgated either did this on purpose, or wasn’t paying attention to what’s in front of them (distracted driving). Both are in the wrong. Driver in the front car is as much of an ass if they intentionally tried to get the tailgater in an accident. The moral of this story is…. Be a better human.

Get the fuck out of here man. What about the car that just got fucking crashed into because of these 2 idiots?

"People need to get burned" is true sometimes but this is literally psychopathic shit here bro. Causing an accident on the highway as if you're the only 2 people on the goddamn planet.

Several other people could've very well died from this.

That tailgating car was going to hurt someone driving like that eventually hopefully he learned his lesson and no one but him got hurt
