Well I now see from the pictures that this happened at night so that does change things some but even so she must have had her lights on. So surely if the people on that motorcycle had been paying attention you would think they would have slowed down and changed lanes.
How fast was that motorcycle going, looks like a good clip from the picture of that car.
There are plenty of likely, valid reasons why the motorcyclist may not have seen the car until it was too late, so I don’t think one can automatically conclude that he wasn’t paying attention. The stopped car was dark, with no lights on, at night, so the only way that’s going to be noticed in time is if the driver is looking directly ahead 100% of the time, and no one drives that way.
So he may have been looking at a street sign, or checking a rearview mirror or a gas meter, or he may have been behind a ace that waited until the last minute to chance lanes. But the mere fact that he struck a dark car illegally stopped in the left lane does not mean he wasn’t paying attention.
Typo - meant to say behind a car (not behind a ace)
No. Lights not on. Dark car. At night. Stopped partially in a traffic lane. Basically invisible. But some here think it was the motorcyclist’s fault. For not being psychic? Not having infrared vision? Just wow.
