The title isn't meant to be inflammatory, I have a genuine question.

Take a look at www.break.com; they have a helmet-cam view of a motorcycle accident.

From my take on the situation shown the rider isn't going too quick relative to the other traffic and her road positioning in fine. Was this incident just bad luck, or could she have done anything differently?

For those who can't view this, it shows a motorcycle in light traffic on a multi-lane road. A car on the rider's left skids and swerves, for no apparent reason, into the rider's path. She aims for a closing gap but unfortunately ends up going over the front of the car that swerved.

Edited to change the gender of the rider!

Thank you, Don, that was pretty much my view as well. She was just a victim of circumstance.
