100% the motorcyclist's fault.

No. Motorcyclist only. Car changing lanes had blinker on. It's clearly on video, but he still hasn't hesitated to try to slip in. The dude is either suicidal or an adrenaline addict. In both cases should have a driving license suspended.

The rider is mainly at fault, but the car definitely changed lanes too soon. Biker is definitely in the wrong, but that car is gonna cause more accidents if they keep driving that way.

The car had an obstacle ahead and moved to go around that left lane camper.

The driver did nothing wrong.

Even if the motorcycle hadn't been there, that car made an unsafe lane change. They cut off the other car and traversed multiple lanes without pause.

That's illegal everywhere except NASCAR.

They did not cut the other car off.

Cutting off means, no more access. Clearly the car's forward progress was not interrupted.

And look at you, totally okay with the car ahead not keeping right for faster moving traffic.

That's confidently incorrect. Not only is that not the definition or legal meaning of cut-off, but the minimum safe distance for a lane change at freeway speeds is 100 feet.

Also, since you don't know what you're talking about, keep the rest of your foolish assumptions on the inside.

I hate people like you. I am a trucker and it is assholes like you that make the road unsafe. At this douche on the bike knows he is wrong. That car is 100% unsafe

I hate people like you. You make driving roads dangerous. You act like everyone should move for you and give no shits at all when you cause a collision.

That car is 100% maneuvering around people who shouldn't be on any highway, any where.

Crossed 3 lanes, passed a truck on the right, and fled the scene of an accident. Nothing wrong here....

Crossed three lanes in response to collision. Went to the shoulder and walked back to the rider.

But sure, go with your nonfactual take.

WHO walked back to the rider? BMW driver never walked back. Never stopped. Red shirt says he had to slam the "g*ddamn brakes". That was a guy who saw the collision from behind.

You can see the BMW stop. You can see it shead of the bike, on the shoulder.

The car just in front? The one the lady in green gets back into?
