Ugh...that sounds like an attorney talking.

That's like the dumb law that bars are responsible if someone gets drunk in their bar and causes an accident. They are professionals at serving drinks and should know when someone is too drunk to serve.

In my mind, the drunk is just as professional. Most likely, they even drink on the weekends, making them a 24/7 learner. He knows what happens after he drinks that first beer...and the second...and...

The difference is that the bar has insurance and deeper pockets. That's what makes them responsible.

I looked at the video a few times, and it looks like both made dumb moves. The truck veered to the left, then the bike started to head (left) to the line and the truck pulled right. It is hard to tell if the bike braked, or if the truck failed to. I can't say who was avoiding who, but the truck was destined to be the winner.
