It may be that the driver did not see David's bike at all, or "saw" it without it registering, but I think the classical thinking on bike accidents might say instead, "The driver saw the bike headlight way ahead, but could not tell how very fast the bike was approaching. Hence the driver thought he'd have time to complete his turn before the bike/headlight arrived."mbrST1100 wrote:... car drivers only look out for a danger to themselves inside their metal box, thus only paying attention to something like a car or larger... An approaching motorcycle, can be a large, illuminated rig, already slowed down below 6 mph and at a distance of less than 30 feet, is simply not processed by their brains... Intersections are always a "confusing traffic situation"; you've folks ahead, whose actions cannot be predicted... not being seen at all is among that...
