Certainly doesn't get the driver of the car completely off the hook but is most certainly a compelling reason to keep your speed under control.
The biker had also just passed a number of cars. Perhaps the driver saw a car off in the distance and figured he had plenty of time to make a turn. Doesn't really matter who is at fault. The biker is still dead. I am assuming, because none of those cars piled into that same driver, that had the biker not been speeding that accident would have been avoided and he would probably still be alive today.
