Awesome sauce!!!

All you guys are wrong. I'm not surprised. At the start of the video, they are clearing the 18 wheeler that has the dash cam. The front car driver can see a vehicle coming down the entrance ramp and stays left to let him on. They pass the merging vehicle before the front car deals with the tail gater.

I wouldn't be surprised if the braking driver wasn't a truck driver. Not many others habitually check entrance ramps for merging vehicles before it happens.

after the crash he did change lane and didn't stop to provide help so he's the real cunt in this clip.

there was clearly a righthand entry merge- he probably (and rightly) wanted to wait a few hundred meters before getting back in the right lane, so as not to have to contend with merging traffic. and I bet he was probably doing at least 10 over the limit....but that is never enough for aggressive assholes who "own" the road

Unfortunately, in many places, there is precedent set that states that if a brake-check causes an accident, where none would have happened if the brake check didn't happen, then the brake-checker bears at least half the liability for the accident; some insurances will not cover you at all, if you are even 1% liable for an accident.

The brake-checking car, however, was behaving appropriately up until that point. Overtaking a truck, and then waiting until after the entry ramp of a road before merging back into the "slow" lane is common sense. Tailgater was an asshole, and deserved it.

Both parties a little at fault, but I do hate tailgaters.

On any multilane road, the LEFT lane is the high speed and passing lane, and the RIGHT is the normal driving lane. Ideally, there shouldn't be ANYONE EVER in the left lane, unless they are passing someone, and when they are done they should get BACK over in the R/H lane. It is too bad the police give speeding tickets and don't enforce any lane discipline.
You'll note that after causing the accident in the left lane, the jackass moved over, to the lane he SHOULD have been in all along. (That ALONE tells me he knew what he was doing was wrong)
P.S. "I'm already doing the speed limit in the left lane, so there isn't any problem" is pure B.S. Speed limit laws are one law, and passing and lane laws are something else. Do you just obey the laws you like? or do you obey them ALL?

Depends on which country this is in. In my country, the left lane is the slow lane, and the right lane is for overtaking and the fast lane. If this is the case, that the left lane is the slow one, then the tailgater is in the wrong and had ample opportunity to move into the right lane and pass.

And even if this is in some country like America who apparently have the left lane as the fast lane, it still makes no difference because, once again, the tailgater could have moved into the right to over-take, then when passed the first car, moved back into the left. It is always the person behind tailgating who are not keeping a safe distance, that is breaking the law, REGARDLESS of the lane.

If s/he had reason to brake...them fair enough. If not...well I understand! But there again...we do not know what happened in the previous 10 minutes or so!
