This death is darwinism. It wasn't caused by a driver not noticing a motorcycle. It was another fig biker thinking he's above the law.
It was actually two wrongs in this situation. The driver turned in front of the bike but the bike was going far too fast. There's a lesson here that both guys on motorcycles and car need to take from this.

Here's my problem with motorcycles - it is natural for the human brain to not process them as vehicles on the road - more like bicycles or pedestrians - on the interstate, everything is fine - either I'm passing the bike(s) or it (they) is passing me - I concentrate to make sure I don't lose them in the blind spots and everything is fine.
It is the intersectional stuff that I have problems with - a few months ago, I turned left in front of a bike - it was early morning, we both had lights on - we both had the green, but I didn't have the arrow.
Now, he was going slow and I was going slow - he didn't have to lay the bike down or anything like that, but I would have given a car the right-of-way (I believe) - I actually didn't realize what I had done until it was over.
But, I do actively concentrate when I realize a bike is in the area - for this very reason.

In passing sentence, Judge Veits said no one had suggested Austin had been driving dangerously, but he had made a mistake that 'sadly' too many other drivers also make, of 'simply' not seeing the motorcycle.
The car was sitting still and the guy came through at 97 MPH, there is nothing that car could have done.
