I don't know how long was the sight line from where she was pulling out but the rider was closing at a speed 80mph/25mph = 3.2 times that of the speed limit. She may have seen him way off in the distance but you can't fault her for not knowing that he was going to "get there" so fast. Under normal circumstances she probably had plenty of time to clear the intersection and therefore did yield. Or is yield supposed to mean don't move unless no one is in sight?

That would bite! One can only look left OR right, not both at the same time. How long would one have to sit at an intersection to be sure? Do I need to put in a redlight at my driveway? Blackbird.
