I have to disagree. The driver of the car can't control anyone but him or herself. They certainly can't stop speeding motorcycles from running into them.
Think about the amount of time that passed from the time the biker saw the car and then made contact with it. It was less than a second. It's reasonable that the car driver saw an opening, which under normal conditions was enough to proceed safely, and couldn't have anticipated a bike coming that quickly. It happened that fast for both parties.... but only one was breaking the law at the time.
