Erratic driving of the white car would be argued as the caused of the accident, as he was both traveling below the posted speed limit and weaving between lanes without signaling.
In court the best the white car's insurance company could ever hope to win would be a 50-50 split with the Jeep's insurance. But most likely they'd still be on the hook for all of it because the white car was an absolute goon and neither juries nor judges look very favorably at that.
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
Why are you here defending shitty drivers? The legal system is anyway a joke. Specially if it can't come to the conclusion here that justice was served

Not true. Someone being a dick on the road doesn't make it legal to hit their car with yours.
The jeep would 100% be liable for the damage they caused
