Being a motorcycle rider for the past 50 years (damn, 50 years), I’ll tell you, it happens so often (cars pulling out in front of you, changing lanes without looking, being on the phones and just not paying attention), that most of the time, I see it happening and automatically adjust and blow on past them without any kind of retaliation against whoever was violating my right-of-way. I didn’t used to be like that, I’d make sure you KNEW that you’d made an error in your ways. And I’m assuming that the car pulled out in front of the bike, but the news is being careful about saying that.


Careful now, pay attention.

Based on this image, looks like the driver made a left-hand turn directly in front of the motorcycle.
