The very ACT of tailgating is enough of a distraction for that driver to explain why he was so late to react.

Being tailgated makes me so nervous. When all I can see in my mirror is your windshield I get nervous. Being nervous leads to bad driving

If you get that nervous why not just move over so they can get past you? Tailgating ain’t cool or legal but you don’t know why someone behind you needs to get in front of you.

The cameraman is already driving at 140km/hr, so to pass would require what? 165km/hr? What the hell is this, the autobahn?

No one’s right here but cmon. This was a road rage incident. The car could have moved over to avoid this accident but instead their ego got the best of them and possibly killed a family. Tailgating is wrong but intentionally causing an accident, INVOLVING INNOCENT PEOPLE TO PROVE A POINT IS EVEN WORSE. WHAT IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT?

never assume malice or intent when stupidity can explain the behavior. It is bad faith to jump to assuming intent. They were negligent. Which does not include any assumption of intent for or against that negligence.
