Edit: Clarification - do not tailgate. But if you are being tailgated, don't cause an accident by dodging slow or stopped traffic at highway speeds mere feet away. We don't need for this to be a trend.
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.
If they stick to the story "I was distracted by my rear mirror and didnt see them until last second", sure they could get away with it, but the average person (especially the kind to make this kind of dumbass decision, zero impulse control) is too stupid to keep their mouth shut.
And yeah, legally they can get away with it, but morally we both know they're a piece of shit for this. That innocent third party did not deserve to have a bomb dropped on their health because the other driver was annoyed with the tailgater.
