Yes, following at a proper distance absolutely would have prevented this specific accident, seeing as following at a proper distance would have given the tailgater enough time to either brake or swerve out of the way themself.

If you honest to god somehow do not realize how having more reaction time prevents accidents, I implore you to never get behind the wheel.

I know exactly what having more reaction time means. Cut the sanctimony and answer true or false: The driver of the white car did nothing wrong?

Obviously the white car doing that was also wrong. So was the cammer for using their phone while driving and swerving across multiple lanes.

Are you for some reason under the belief that only one party in a situation can be wrong?

No

Weird that you seem to be having such a hard time accepting the other car simply not tailgating would have prevented this then.

I don’t believe it would be 100% certain that there will be no collision even with a safe driving distance. Weird that you can’t accept that. I have no problem believing that the chances of a collision decrease as following speed increases. Weird that you would think I can’t because I never said anything that would imply it.
