SMIDSY Is Not Just a Driver's Excuse

SMIDSY, the final frontier between calm and rage, is not only a driver's (almost all the time) poor excuse. Watch this video and see that this rider has all the right to his own SMIDSY... it's just that when it comes to bikes, the rider is the one getting hurt, no matter who's the "blind" one.
SMIDSY stands for "Sorry mate, I didn't see you" and we're just sick of how often we get to hear this. From drivers and even from motorcycle riders, this pathetic excuse should be banned. Unfortunately, this would most likely mean no change in the way we all use the road.

This accident is even sillier and harder to understand as the SUV driver was signaling his intentions, and there was a lot of time for any decent rider to figure out how things are going and slow down. But it looks like some can't make the right decisions, no matter how plain and obvious things are.
