Same here ( with keeping distance & who get to pay if you don't do that ) still brake checking are illegal so your footage should at least make the person pay for that, and i think the insurance company will make sure of that but otherwise you have to go to the police and do that.
It is a thing many Danish drivers don't get, not least in relation to intersections changing color to yellow and then red, the law say you are allowed to go thru on yellow if stopping can create a dangerous situation.
BUT ! here the law don't mean a guy tailgating you,,,,,, in regular driving you cant really be responsible for what go on behind you, only if you are slowing down and making a right or left turn are you supposed to look out back to make sure you can do said turns safely.
you cant constantly sit there and look in the mirror and guesstimate if the guy behind are keeping a safe distance, or if he are busy on the phone liking pictures of cupcakes or not, if the light turn yellow you are supposed to stop, and only if the road are slippery from rain or snow are you allowed co go thru as you then could loose control of your car if you tried to stop.
The law do say if a person behind you are so close to you he might hit you when you stop for yellow you can go thru yellow light, but i am sure if you stop and he hit you, he will be the one to pay up cuz if he hit you he have not kept a safe distance or paid attention in traffic.
I got a old recording from my old 4 channel kit where a guy ( snot-faced punk in a BMW of course ) almost rear end me cuz he are not doing what are supposed to do and i stop for yellow light.
PS i was running a 15 mm lens on the rear camera so in the video it also look close, which it also was.
