Ok, if I understand it correctly, the guy driving the car is at fault who is the son of the lady?

I'll believe him when he gets his knee down on the busa
That's sad
On another note, they totally messed with the scene of the accident! Moving stuff around, etc. And where's emergency services?
<-- watches too much C.S.I.

You notice that guy was just laying there all alone, wtf. With the exception of that guy with the video camera taking pictures of his body....:|

Not all 2-wheelers are at fault in accidents, quite often it's the fault of another driver that didn't see them. Which really is the fault of the motorcycle being so small. My friend lost a friend to someone who was passing during a curve a while back too. They didn't see the bike till it was too late, and obviously car > bike. Bikes scare me, I could never drive one or ride on one.
Sorry for what happened to this guy in the video but I don't buy the theory that bad drivers are the root of most motorcycle deaths. Every, and I mean every, motorcycle rider I've known has stories of drag races, road racing, or topping their bike out. A good friend of mine from my late teens was killed on a bike. I wasn't there when it happened but the story was he tried to pass traffic in a blind turn. He was one of those guys who used his bike to go in and out of traffic like he was immune to the rules. He always wore a helmet but going head on into a car it didn't matter.
Just this past weekend I was getting ready to ride my bike (pedal bike) on a trail alongside a major road and 2 guys on sport bikes (motorcycles) went flying by doing high speed wheelies down this major road toward a big interesction. Had something happened to them who would've been at fault? Them for their unsafe stunt driving or the car that "got in their way". This video doesn't show what happens before the accident but I have to ask how fast was the motorcycle going? I do a lot of driving with my job and I've seen many sport bike riders using their power and size to squeeze in and out of tight places to zip through traffic. That works right up until the one time it doesn't.
Again, I watched this vid without sound and I don't know the details of the accident but it seems like every time a motorcycle is in an accident all the riders blame the car and it's not always the case.

riding a motorcycle is way too crazy. you are unprotected and can die in a second. there's so many safer things to do in life.
while i don't think every rider is an asshole... i do think that the bigger asshole you are on a bike the bigger the chance of you getting hit.
i live in LA and i don't even think driving a car is safe around here, let alone a motorcycle, with the amount of idiots on the road.

Look up the Hurt Report. Although many stereotypes about riders are true, I think you are unfairly characterizing them based on your personal (and statistically limited) experience.
"The failure of motorists to detect and recognize motorcycles in traffic is the predominating cause of motorcycle accidents. The driver of the other vehicle involved in collision with the motorcycle did not see the motorcycle before the collision, or did not see the motorcycle until too late to avoid the collision"
"In multiple vehicle accidents, the driver of the other vehicle violated the motorcycle right-of-way and caused the accident in two-thirds of those accidents."
"Most motorcycle accidents involve a short trip associated with shopping, errands, friends, entertainment or recreation, and the accident is likely to happen in a very short time close to the trip origin." (i.e. not doing crazy stuff)
oh fvck.. I've got to slow down, I've got to slow down, I've got to slow down... On my way to work there's a long stretch of highway that has many winding curves then a long straightaway. I always get up to 100 MPH zooming around the cars. It's one hellova rush having the wind blowing on you as you slice the air. Damn, though... This is rough. My friend works in the E.R. and always tells me stories about motorcyclists coming in decapitated from the force of the impact when they crash. Damn, just damn.
waste of my bandwidth. the camera guy jsut walks around surveying the area, you can't tell what anyone is even saying it's not in english.
...Here is the driver fault, the guy in red leather said that they were speeding and this driver wanted to take left, he first stopped, and they thought that he is gonna wait until they pass, but in the next second he pushed the gas pedal thinking he has time to pass....and this horrible accident happend...
...they were speeding... They being the guys on bikes. Car driver was making a left, and misjudged their speed. Guess he stupidly assumed they were going the speed limit or something. How could the car driver know they were going SO MUCH over the speed limit? IMO, if a cop were writing tickets, they'd both get one.
