I have a question, that sort of indirectly involves this case...let's assume that the car was driving slower, and he was in fact attempting to make a left turn, would he be in the wrong for clipping the bike? I get that the bike had illegally passed in a no passing zone...but, he still gained possession of the lane first, and in Louisiana, if you're making a left turn and cause a collision with a vehicle passing to the left you are the guilty party, if it's deemed that the passing vehicle has possession of the lane first.

Is that really the law in LA? If so, wow. Really dumb. I mean I understand its concept, but can you really see behind you fully while mostly worrying about oncoming traffic first and foremost? If some idiot on a bike, like in the video, did that, I do not understand how it would be the driver taking the left turns fault at all.

That is only the case where passing is legal, which is not the situation here.
Also, glad the old man got charged. It was clear he intentionally swerved to block or hit the biker.
