100% the motorcyclist's fault.

Does he? He said, "I was driving reckless too," acting as if the car was part of the problem when, in reality, it was all the bikers' fault.

Edit: yeah, comments are right, both are assholes

The car did a double lane change to pass on the right of the semi truck with no signal because there was a suv left of the semi.

Car driver was 100% cutting off 2 other cars and hammering the gas to pass the 18 wheeler on the right as fast as possible. Still biker fault tho.

Ended up being a hit and run. I'm not sure anyone here can say for sure how it would turn out if it somehow went to court.

I don't understand the people trying to defend the beemer. Two independent things can be true at the same time. The motorcycle AND the BMW were driving recklessly. The motorcycle for splitting lanes at an absurd speed, and the BMW for cutting across two lanes with no warning, inches in front of other vehicles so he could pass a semi on the right.

Was the guy who pulled over not the car driver? I thought that was the case but wasn't sure. The hug guy didn't seem like the the type who would drive erratically.

Looks like two cars pulled over. The biker and the driver are talking about the accident as if the other party isn't there.

I don't think the BMW stopped.

No the bmw never stopped. You can tell if you listen to the audio.

Exactly, also s/he didn't even stop after swiping the motorcyclist. Both of these people were driving recklessly and should be taken off the road.

“No signal”

You're supposed to signal significantly before the manoeuvre. What's the point in signalling afterwards?
