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.

That woman did not have the car lights on at all?
Well that changes things somewhat.

I thought she stopped but since it was at night she had the car’s running lights on.

So why would she stop and not leave her lights on?

I can only say that if that is the case then maybe she should not have had a driving license to begin with.
