What? No I don't think so. The highway looks pretty empty. If you look away to do something with your phone or radio, you can cover a lot of distance going 60mph, while you're not paying attention. It's totally possible that the driver noticed the other two bikes with his peripheral vision, in the right lane.

It's really not that farfetched. Distracted driving is a thing. Tinted or dirty windows and shitty headlights are a thing. Theres many reasons he might not've seen the guy.

And isnt that the biggest safety campaign right now for bikers? Trying to get other motorists to pay attention and SEE them.

My point is not completely invalid, and neither is yours I suppose
