So, the driver of that car had every right to believe that the oncoming "thing" was doing 50, and could make a decision based on that information. So, he turned thinking he had time. If you've ever pulled into traffic and a speeding asshole is suddenly up your ass honking, same thing. You have every right to believe they are doing the speed limit. It looked to me like that car would've made it if he wasn't doing twice the speed.

That or the car was a jackass who didn't see the bike....

I'm not an accident lawyer, but that's exactly the way I saw it. The driver assumed the bike, if they saw it, was going 50 mph and they had time to turn. I was surprised the car driver got the sentence they did.

Even if the car driver did see the motorbike, the driver probably thought he had time to turn but at 100mph the bikes gonna get close real fast..I have no sympathy for idiotic bike drivers tear arsing down a road.. It's the poor car driver I feel for... Unfortunately most bike drivers speed.. And have the cheek to ask car drivers to watch out for them.. Cheeky mofo's.

A lot of vehicles speed so it's good practice to not assume any oncoming vehicle is doing the speed limit it, but to take a little bit of time to judge how fast that vehicle is going. In this case it was a motorcycle that was speeding, but had it been a truck the car driver would've been smashed. People die in accidents like that everyday, it's not just a car vs motorcycle thing.

Another stupid motorcyclist off the roads, good riddance.

"Whoa!" Indeed.

Think Once, Think Twice, Think Bike.

But honestly, it does help everyone to not ride like it's a damn speedway. Even extremely diligent drivers on a good day have come unstuck.

It's so bleedin' fast I had to use VLC Media Player to actually catch it slowed down.

Must have been how he saw it too, the way they say time slows down for you in an accident as your brain's 'clock speed' panics.

way too fast in that small town road

He loved speed ?...Sadly it was only a matter of time for David, only thing his mum did not know..."would he survive it"..
