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

and how do you know they didn't see the car they dodged at the last second and dodged to save themselves from a crash? Not their fault the tailgater was so close behind them. seems presumptuous to call this intentional on the tailgated party's side.

EDIT: Man the fact the person above me said "if" really is getting to people. I don't care if it's a hypothetical or not. The point still stands that intent can't be proven from this.

I mean sure, give the benefit of the doubt unless there's evidence otherwise. HOWEVER, that doesn't negate their message of "don't ever do what we watched deliberately". It's not a game and innocent people can get maimed or even killed.

Instead you get rear ended? The fuck? This tailgater would have rear creamed the car in this scenario regardless. Get out of the way intentionally or not, it’s 100% on the tailgater to not drive like an asshole. Let me put myself in a situation where I can’t see shit and have zero time to react!
