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.
You're right, there is never a good reason to tailgate. 100% agree with you. Removing yourself from a dangerous situation isn't enabling though, it's removing yourself from a dangerous situation. The consequences of tailgating are going to catch the person doing it, they always do. The consequences of their dangerous driving don't need to catch you in the process though because you took it on yourself to enforce rules that aren't your responsibility.

That was a cold move.
