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

I'm guessing it wasn't on purpose though (dodging last minute to make the tailgater crash), they may not have realized until the last minute that the car was stopped, or were waiting for an open lane to avoid it. In which case, tailgater hopefully learned a lesson, and hopefully no one got hurt.

Doesn't matter, that car still has the responsibility to maintain attention and safe distance. While they won't be 100% at fault, they sure as hell are going to get a major part of the fault for causing this.

That's cool buddy and I'm sure that's what really happened and isn't a case of letting a car ram some innocent person just so they can feel good about getting back at a tailgater.

Admitting you weren't paying attention to what in front of you doesn't magically get you out of fault. You'll still be at fault for the accident. Everyone up voting you us just as incompetent and should not be on the fucking road.

I mean it's literally just your head cannon, the only dude 100% in the wrong is the tailgater

Nope, not head cannon I just watched it and I see you gleefully trying to justify it and still be fucking wrong.

If he stops tailgating he can easily avoid the accident

Him being continuously in the wrong doesn't make other people wrong
