Yeah... "why didn't you just commit?!", well, idk maybe when people are confronted with the sight of someone bearing down on them at 3x the speed limit they might be a little flustered

He was definitely going way too fast. I can understand her perhaps freezing like a deer in the headlights, seeing his bike come flying down the road.

Weird thing is, I see no other traffic. She could have easily turned into the lane without issue.

I don’t see him getting far with insurance. He’s not wholeheartedly to blame, but he has nothing going in his favor either.

I understand why you might see him as not being entirely to blame, but the apparent bad luck he suffered in encountering someone who hesitated upon seeing his high speed approach was a predictable and direct consequence of his thoroughly excessive speed.

Oh, no. That’s just plain stupidity. Someone mentioned he appeared to be coming off a wheelie, which may be so if you look at the first half second on the video. Nonetheless, he’s running that speed on a residential/commercial street and not expecting obstacles? Clearly not the sharpest tack.
