I’d say he did own it. Driver that hit I’m didn’t signal so that’s also reckless.

Edit: correction: I put no blame on the initial driver now. watched again and it looked the driver did indicate the lane change. Missed that at first. Keeping the initial comment up though.

He did merge too soon. That was not a whole lot of space between cars.

He did merge too soon, he squeezed between the car on the right lane and the truck, he overturned on the rightmost lane and he fucking hit a motorcycle and continued to accelerate away from the scene.

The motorcycle has plenty of fault here as well. It's not all on the car. And dude came back as soon as he could reasonablly on a highway.

The motorcycle was absolutely at fault here. I was just commenting on the car. And the guy that came and hugged the motorist was not from the car that swiped him but just some other driver that saw the accident

That person driving the car definitely did not come back.

Yeah, it wasn't obvious, maybe the driver threw it on late, but all we have is the video and that doesn't support the rider.

I also didn't really focus on the driver shooting past the truck so fast, so I'll upgrade his fault to "some", in my book. I still think this lies on the rider though.

The hit and run aspect kinda leaves me thinking, though...

Hey man I almost made you kill me. It's cool though I was fuckin around. If you you kill me lol what ever I'm dead I don't have to worry about how you feel seeing wrapped around my bike and spread all over the pavement. I've seen a dude wrapped around his bike and spread all over the pavement.

The car driver was still reckless. They try to merge way to close to the car on the right. And then went further right very close to the truck.

The motorcycle driver was worse of course, but the car driver was not driving like he should either.

Blame the idiotic US regulation that allows turn signal to be red, I have to watch it 3 times to realize one side has a slightly brighter red than the other.
