Yeah, his fault for not realizing his exit was right there. But he could've been following his passengers directions, who just noticed the exit. Again, his fault, but I hardly find this to be a supreme act of douchebaggery on him. So what if he hits the brakes? People hit the brakes before they turn, are they all douchebags? If he sped up and then got off, he probably wouldn't have made the exit, or gotten into a crash. As he got closer he got slower? Well yeah. He's braking isn't he? It's your job to not get closer and closer. It would've been 100% your fault if you hit him.

Yes, the burden is still on you to maintain a safe distance behind, no matter how stupidly the person in front of you is driving.

That being said, slowing down to speeds below the flow of traffic just to make an exit that you almost missed is discourteous and foolish. I almost got caught in a pile up one time just because some dumbass lady in a Taurus stopped diagonally across the exit divider, just to make her exit. Honestly, if you miss your exit, tough luck. Take the next one and double back. What makes you think you have the right to stop in the middle of the freeway and risk a multi-car accident just to save your slow ass an extra 2 minutes???
