We're ready to place high wagers that this driver's excuse was either SMIDSY (sorry mate, I didn't see you), or something related to the cosmic speed of the rider.
While the second potential excuse is obviously nulled by the very footage, there is some truth in the first one, with a twist: of course the driver did not see the incoming rider, because he didn't even look ahead!
He just slowed down a bit because he was about to steer to the left, and that was it: as far as he was concerned (very little, we might add), things were just fine. Unfortunately we could not extend the "fine" for the poor rider, whose day surely ended in a bad way.
Each time we see such crashes, we cannot help wondering: would he be just as careless in case a Kamaz loaded with bricks came on the road?
