I'm not confident that you would have seen that fool coming

The biker died after he hit the front end of the cager turning left.
The two cagers went to the hospital (probably only for the lawsuit).
The police made a statement that said they were absolutely not
chasing him. At least they were not chasing him on the ground.
Obviously there was that helicopter which was tracking him from the
air. But no indication yet that the biker knew the helicopter was
above him.
And he was whipping thru city streets at 100mph anyway.
Still, the cager turned left in front of him and you saw what
happened.
I rewound and played the video at 0.5x speed, several times.
The bike was nowhere in sight when that car began turning, it was far
back *behind* other cars. Then it shot out at insanely high speed from
between two cars and into the intersection.
The bike thief wouldn't have done that stupid move if he could have seen
the left-turning car ahead. HIS fault that they couldn't see him either.
The most dangerous time for a biker is when a cager coming from the
opposite direction turns left in an intersection and this video shows
what happens.
OK, but that isn't what I get from this video.
