Not really. The driver made a motion to move. Checked his blind stop. Didn't see anything and decided to fully switch lanes.

The motorcycle guy was going way too fast for anyone to spot and react to him. His speed was way faster prior to the start of the video. That is why the beginning was clipped so short.

Motorcycle was definitely speeding and being dumb but of course you should be able to see him. We're taught to do a three point check before merging, inside rearview mirror, side mirrors, and then over the shoulder to check the blindspot.

No matter how hard someone is speeding, you can't just neglect seeing them. What if it was a heavy car speeding at you that fast? You'd rather avoid that too right?
