Cant even tell who to blame in that video, damn.

This is two years old and there is a much longer video someplace. We analyzed it to death the first time around.
If you watch really close you will see the FRS bounce off the car in front of him before the guy behind pounds him. Now the car in front of the FRS visibly bounces off the one in front of it before getting hit so it seems to have started there. Both those bumps would have been minor fender benders though and it is the guy that hits the FRS full force that really causes havoc.

That should buff right out......

I make it a point to not drive when anyone else is out.

I need my space and hate to be triggered!

Yea, I think that silver car in front of the FRS already hit the car in front of him.

Simply keeping a larger distance in front of even one of those cars would have prevented the accident or it would have been a minor fender bender.

Keep a much bigger than you think you need of a lead time to the car in front of you. Esp in bad traffic like that

Actually paying attention helps too. In the longer video of this (I can't find it now) you see that the traffic is stop and go. It isn't like they all just suddenly stopped and there wasn't enough room. They would creep forward a few yards then stop. The guy that smokes the FRS is actually still accelerating from a dead stop when he hit them. Even if he had managed to stop they were all doomed anyway. Just watch the shadow coming up behind the car that hit the FRS. He must have all but floored it and is still really accelerating as everybody in front of him are crashing. Probably looked up from his phone, saw everybody was moving all of a sudden, and laid into the gas.

Works in some places but not most. Leave a decent gap in that stop-and-go traffic and 1 or 2 cars pull right in - hoping that lane moves faster (it doesn't). Then they jump to another lane if they get an inch. That lane jumping actually accounts for much of the "stop-and-go" in this kind of traffic. This is where I use left-foot braking in my auto!!
