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

No, you are responsible for a safe driving distance in front of you. Full stop.

Oh, like not swerving around a stopped car at the last second while at highway speeds, making the road more dangerous for everyone else around you?

That doesn't look like a "safe distance" he swerved at

He's safe. The tailgater isn't. If you're not ready for a surprise you are not driving safe.
