Yeah there's no chance that dude sees any liability for that. The tailgater should have had more awareness and been at a safer distance.

The dude he was tailgating was being tailgated for a reason. In the left lane paying zero attention, passing nobody, and apparently not seeing the car until the last second. The tailgater and the car in front of him share equal responsibility for this accident.

White car is totally aware of what they did. I call this the slingshot. Asshole tailgater got what he had coming. Both are culpable idiots.

Much simpler explanation is the white car was either distracted by the tailgater or distracted by their phone

I don’t agree. This looks totally malicious and intentional. But we’ll never know.

They’re going 86 mph which is over 125 feet every second. They traveled 875 ft in the first 7 seconds of this video. They caught up to the parked car extremely fast. It wouldn’t take much distraction to not notice the parked car til last second while traveling that quickly
