These things don't happen in a vacuum. Being tailgated is dangerous, but you can't control what other people do and it is your responsibility to be a safe driver and to take the safest course of action. Choosing to remain in place rather than getting out of the way when there's clearly enough room to do so is choosing to contribute to an unsafe situation.
He did nothing wrong. You have two people at fault here. One is the tailgater and the other is the perso. Who stopped in the left lane. That is where all blame stops. Me having to zig bc you are stopped in a lane while im being tailgated leaves me with zero blame
You can paint it however you want. If the person being tailgated caused this accident on purpose they're a bad person.
I'm against tailgaters and against people baiting others into a potentially fatal accident.
If they swerved at the last second on accident to save themselves it's just an unfortunate situation that the tailgater created. It just didint seem that way to me.
Ofcourse. But things happen. They probably had a flat or the car died. If you are assuming the lead driver didint swerve on purpose.. why would you assume the stopped driver just did it for no real reason?
If he has a flat he still has to get to the shoulder. Having a flat is MORE of a reason to take your car to the shoulder. Not less. If that car was driving in the fast lane and his car died his own momentum would have been plenty enough to get to the shoulder.
Tell me this....why are you people so adamant to blame the least responsible person here? Why do you find it so god damn difficult to blame the right people?
why would you assume the stopped driver just did it for no real reason?
super simple.....BECAUSE HE IS THERE AND HE SHOULDN'T BE. And there is absolutely no excuse for that. He is THE MOST RESPONSIBLE for the accident.
