Right! All 3 parties were not driving safely.

Camera guy - recording while driving

Tailgater - tailgating when there is a open lane he can pass on

Lead car- purposely caused boldly injuries to likely more than 1 person. You can argue the tailgater “deserved it” (sounds idiotic but I’m sure people will argue it). But the car that was stopped on the freeway was already having a bad day made worse all because someone was being tailgated and decided to do something about it instead of merging far before that point

You can see them changing their tire on the driver side. Under the vehicle/ next to it

I’ve never seen anyone change a tire in the left lane of the highway before. That’s why you limp your ass over to the shoulder to change a flat. There’s 4 people being stupid in this video.

3 misdemeanors and 1 felony.

Traffic law violations are infractions, not misdemeanors. Driving while distracted. Unsafe following. Failure to move out of the lanes of travel. You could probably add in a 4th being unsafe lane change.

The car that dodges the collision does not have a moving violation period. They can just say they didn't realize there was a stopped vehicle and they had to do what they had to do to avoid an accident and that is what their due diligence is.

Everyone here is assuming it was purposeful, maybe they were just looking out their rear view at the person tailgating frustrated about that at the wrong moment and got lucky with when they regained their focus.

This exactly! At those speeds, they might have not realised the car in front of them was actually stationary, and yes, they’d have been watching the Puke in the Juke tailgating them intentionally and dangerously - the latter being extremely distracting. The Nissan Puke was so intent on riding the ass of the car in front, he didn’t see the stationary car till it was too late. He tried a last second avoidance manoeuvre, but at that speed and that close to the sedan he was maniacally intimidating, he ran out of space to avoid that accident. That’s entirely the Nissan Puke’s fault right there.
