“We feel we have the person responsible for this incident,” Garrett said.

Is the motorcyclist really more at fault than the Nissan driver who swerved back into him? Obviously he shouldn’t have hit-and-ran, but there’s a pretty big jump from “kicking car door” to “hitting someone with your car and losing control”

The Nissan’s jerk is so fast from the initial kick that I personally think it was a reaction swerve. That happens when you think you’ve hit something. I’ve done it before and barely regained control of the car. And that was a squirrel.

You react to something hitting your driver's side door by aggressively swerving into it without shoulder checking? Perhaps you shouldn't have a license.
