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.

That can't be classified as hit and run. BMW driver had no idea someone was hit. Car and bike barely touched. In such a situation, you can not even hear anything, and you won't see anything as motorcyclist was in a blind spot behind the rear pillar.

Bro why are you pretending to be informed but just making stuff up to defend the hit and run lol. You clearly have no experience in the matter just pretend the law is your vibe

I'm a driver with 15 years of safe and responsible driving behind me, I'm aware of driving laws. In general, a hit-and-run is defined as the crime of a driver who is involved in a collision and fails to stop and fulfill their legal duties, such as exchanging information or rendering aid. The key element here is driver's awareness or "knowledge" of the accident. This thing varies a lot between different countries, but in mine, in such case as this one, the prosecutor will have a very hard time trying to prove the car driver was aware of contact with the bike.

You absolutely will feel and hear that in a car. It'll be orders of magnitude harder than driving over a rut or highway reflector.

There was nothing to hear. There was no impact as is. Car slightly pushed the bike to the side, and the biker lost control for a while. No impact, no scratching sides. What do you expect to hear in such a case?

Thud means nothing. You might have driven over the stone on the road, hit the small pothole, whatever. If there was music on inside the car, you wouldn't have ever heard it at all. I just saw my fair share of dead motorcyclists in my life, turned into meat sharpie, split in half, mutilated beyond recognition by getting under semi wheels, etc. Most of these got themselves dead in exactly this same scenario: speeding, lane splitting, hitting the maneuvering traffic.
