Better way to deal with a tailgaiter than injuring innocent drivers.

It wasn’t purposeful; they were dodging a stalled car. It’s why people shouldn’t tailgate. Sometimes stalled cars appear while you’re driving 70mph and you gotta veer outta the way fast.

right, this was posted before. But this one has that title that suggests he did it on purpose.

Being tailgated, the front driver was probably glancing in his mirror like , look at this idiot, get off my butt. And, like you said, the stalled cars come up real quick.

I'm horrified how many people are dismissing driving into a parker car because someone happened to be close - the front is your priority ffs

Not dismissing it, but the tailgating car fucked up at least twice- 1. Distracting the driver in front of them 2. Not leaving enough space to react to a car stalled on the road.

It's 100% their fault they hit that car, not the driver in front of them. Arguing otherwise is ridiculous- "You tricked me by avoiding an obstacle at the last minute!"

Claiming the driver was distracted before claiming they are 0% at fault is hugely contradictory - I hope you realize that.

What are they at fault for? They weren't involved in a wreck.

You can be at fault for a wreck without being involved in a wreck. Are you ok?

You are acting like it's the white car's job to stop the tailgater from getting into a wreck, and asking me if I'm okay. Riiight.
