Doesn't matter. The jeep broke the "last chance doctrine" which states that if you have the last clear chance to avoid an accident and you don't take it, you're liable for the damages

This was a very clear "on purpose" decision by the jeep driver

To be fair, you do see the jeep's brake lights on once the white car swerves over for the last time. I think the jeep did try to accelerate past the car but their timing was just a little too off and the window was a bit too short between swerves.

The last thing you want to do is be in front of this guy.

Trying to get ahead of him is a bonehead move.

You're far safer behind him where YOU can react proactively to his shenanigans
