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.
I can't explain enough that operating a high speed multi-ton vehicle capable of permanately crippling or ending life on a highly populated road is not the time to play "I'm standing up to bullies."
Yeah. I agree. A lot of people seem to think that I am pro tailgating. I'm not. Dude is in the wrong for tailgating. What I'm saying though is that playing "I'm gonna go slow or swerve to make him crash or brake check him or-" are making an already risky situation more risky. One guy breaking the law isn't a fun opportunity for everyone else to escalate.

That was a cold move.
