[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Something like 2/3's of motorcycle-car accidents are where the motorcycle is driving straight (with the green light) and the auto driver approaching from the opposite directions makes a left turn in front of the motorcyclist. The motorcyclist has no chance at all to stop or swerve.

Based on the description of the accident in the Post, this is exactly what happened. The bus turned in front of the motorcycle.

i almost hit a motorcycle in this exact scenario a week ago.  I was turning left and the motorcyclist was speeding towards me.  In my case it was going super fast (maybe 40mph in a neighborhood where all streets are 25mph).   My brain was auto-scanning for large, lumbering cars and not for the much smaller (and faster) silhouette of a motorcycle.
Thankfully i did see it but it left me shaken. It really seemed to come completely out of nowhere.  I wasn't texting, was alone i the car and wasn't distracted.  I just wasn't expecting the cycle to appear so quickly.
