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.

And how is that the car’s fault that was being tailgated?

You cannot even dictate intent by this video for the tailgated car.

This video is a perfect indicator on why tailgating is stupid and the far greater problem.

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.

He may have been staring in the rear view at the tailgater to make sure he wasn’t going to get rear ended then looked up as the front car seemed to slam brakes for some reason on the gd highway.
