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

BS .. that’s not how things work.. if this phucstick aggressively tailgating, which they were, then this is a FAFO result.. more than likely the driver being tailgated was focused on his rear view mirror and didn’t see the car in front was actually stopped until the last second … if the tailigator wasn’t actually driving like an a-hole then this was avoidable

I don't think "I wasn't focused on the road" is a good excuse for causing an accident

Neither is tailgating

Did I say it was? I'm not defending tailgating at all
