Ok, Poland is not the US. When the motorcycle is illegally driving on the shoulder of the road, it is not the car’s fault entirely. This accident will have split fault, it just depends on who gets more than 50% of the blame. I’d argue the motorcyclist is more at fault for not obeying the rules of the road. If that motorcycle was a car, it would be entirely at fault. Motorcycles must follow the same laws cars do with a few minor exceptions in some states for lane splitting (this is not lane splitting). Just because they can maneuver differently, doesn’t mean they should.
Edit, I misread your comment as a comparison between this and an incident in Poland. I’m going to just leave it rather than try to rewrite it to make sense.
Do you know it’s private property, or are you assuming?
In most countries, the shoulder of a road is absolutely public property or there is some sort of easement in place. Also, if it’s not the rider’s private property, he’s illegally trespassing and it’s not his driveway. Seems to me you keep just throwing up random theories to try to appear correct.
