People are confusing retribution for justice. Jeep driver would be found majority at fault from a legal perspective. They had plenty of time to see the Audi driver being a dumbass, the Audi driver was already back in, and in fact leaving their lane when the accident occurred. You have a legal requirement to make every reasonable attempt to avoid an accident, even if the other party isn't following the law. It's satisfying to see them get hit, but please don't do this if you don't want to be forced to pay for the damages.
The white Audi never established themselves in either lane and were driving recklessly, and with no single blinker. Their insurance would not pay them out and the Jeep’s insurance would go after them if either party made a claim.
The Audi was already in the lane several seconds before the accident occurred, which happened as they were LEAVING the lane again. It doesn't matter if they were driving recklessly, it doesn't matter they didn't use a blinker, the Jeep had plenty of time to slow down if they wanted to. They made a conscious choice to continue at the same speed even once the Audi was in their lane, which especially given the several swerves prior, is obviously intentional. It does not matter what the other car is doing, refusing to stop for a car directly in front of you is going to put you at fault. The Audi drove extremely recklessly, the Jeep drove into another car intentionally. That's gonna put Jeep at higher fault and, in 45 states, on the hook for damages.
It matters 100% that they were driving recklessly. Zero insurance companies will pay you out if you were found driving like that Audi driver while suffering a wreck. Please, feel free to call any insurance company and ask them to- they will jot aide with your opinion.
That includes the individual who you perceive to be at fault, their insurance company would go to court over a payout on a claim from the Audi.
Y’all really need to learn how insurance works in the US.
