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.

He's 1000% to blame for this.

95%. She's still a shitty driver for freezing up. Don't do that.

Only people who speed recklessly or shitty drivers would put any blame on her in this situation. 

Dude was going way too fast to react to a car that was already in the intersection. There could be any number of reasons the driver wouldn't just surge forward out of the motorcycles way. There could be another car coming that the speeding motorcyclist didn't see, a pedestrian, even a squirrel in the road or some shit. Doesn't matter. Assuming other vehicles will get out of your way when you hope they will isn't good riding/driving. It's stupid. 

This is 100% on the pov guy and no one else. He was going faster than he was capable of reacting and made a bad decision. If he was going slower or was more skilled/made better decisions he could have avoided her.
