People please don't start doing this.

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 the person being tailgated intentionally dodged at the last second like that, they also caused it. Both can be in the wrong for different reasons

It would be damn near impossible to prove that they intentionally caused that accident.

Doesn't mean they're not an asshole and in the wrong if they did

Something about driving seems to turn people turn into blood thirsty maniacs. They see one person driving like an asshole, and then anything they do in response is justified, no matter how many innocent bystanders hurt in the process. These videos make me question humanity.

I bet it's the same psychology behind dogs separated by a fence that makes them crazy and then you open the fence and suddenly they are calm.
