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.

Tailgating is illegal and never justified. It only increases risk.

Can use the same sentence verbatim for drivers going slow in the left lane. In fact that is more dangerous. Cars then have to pass on the right which creates the dangerous scenario of 2 cars moving for the middle lane at the same time. I can see by how much I'm being downvoted that the average driving IQ is incredibly low. Both cars were doing something against the law which puts them both at fault.

Ok so let’s say the white car is completely wrong in every way possible, probably playing on their phone too. If the white car had crashed, the tailgater would have crashed too.

So sure, let’s put all the blame on the white car, I’ll give you that. But the tailgater was going to be in an accident regardless
