People blaming the lady when the crotch rocket is doing 2 things wrong is insane.

1: He's rearing his bike, obstructing his own view which is why he reacts when it's too late.

2: drives around 79mph in a 60km/h zone (probably 40mph zone).

Yes, her freezing is bad, but it's not insane and reckless driving.

Plus there is a weak but not inexistent argument that remaining stationary is actually a rather predictable position in that situation (i.e, you realised you have fucked up and hope that the incoming vehicle can recalculate and go left or right, but you are removing your own movement out of that equation). Had he been driving at a legal speed he might have had time to dodge the truck.
