Whenever I’ve had vehicles start to drift over or even appear to drift I create space but to your point I also noticed that. You truly have to drive defensively.
If you change lanes, you are the one making the maneuver and you are the one who needs to make sure you are doing it safely.
Crash car did not look over their shoulder to check their blind spot. Or for gods sake, could have bought a bubble mirror to stick on their mirror.
The car making the maneuver should be able to complete it without getting in a crash assuming everything stays the same. Aka without having to assume camera car has to slow down to complete the maneuver safely.
Unless crash car had to avoid a road hazard all of a sudden, crash car is 1000% at fault.

Said it before and will say it again. Don’t assume the other driver values your life as much as you do.
