When turning right one is supposed to give way and allow oncoming
traffic to pass on the right. The dashcam shows the driver failed
to do that.

He should have stopped.

It does not alter fault.

The way I approach that is that if I were driving my car along the
route he described on his bike, I would have stopped. More to the
point, I would have been looking where I was going and would have
slowed considerably for such a potentially hazardous situation.

I expect you wouldn't have stopped (or won't agree that you would
have stopped, as the case may be).

I wasn't there. He probably did the best thing in the circumstances.


The best thing is running into a stationary vehicle instead of stopping?


He didn't run into it and the vehicle wasn't stationary.


He did and it was. That vehicle was stationary when he rode into it.

Would *you* have done it? If you say you would have, you have the most
*warped* sense of what the "best thing" is.

Quite unbelievable.

I'll tell you right now, without fear of contradiction by anyone sane,
that was definitely NOT the best thing to do in the circumstances.


Then you're pontificating without having looked at the video.


Wrong (yet again - how DO you manage to be so consistent?).

Would YOU have done what that stupid, stubborn, reckless, cyclist did?

If you say "Yes", I won't believe you.
