first off, both in the wrong.
biker and passenger didn't deserve that outcome, but bad things happen when you do stupid things.
car driver may or may not have intended to hit the biker (or just scare him) but either way, it was an obviously deliberate, stupid, and dangerous move.
again they're both in the wrong and bad things have happened and will happen to all involved.
just say no to road rage.

both need to be suspend from driving. That's what happen when two idiot driver meet. The biker should have stay much more to the left during the pass especially hes not on a passing zone.
the biker are clearly speeding.....

I don't know where you live but about 99% of SoCal drivers completely ignore the speed limit on the highway. The slowest lane cruises at 70mph and if you go anything slower than 75-80 on the left, people tailgate you. I've never been pulled over for doing 75-80 and I see a cop everyday driving. They simply don't pull over people at those speeds unless you are driving dangerously. If you don't believe me, ask other SoCal members here. They will corroborate what I say. Also, if he's 20 under, you can actually get a ticket in some states. In Cali, 20 under is simply unsafe and legally they may have he right, but it really creates an unsafe situation for the driver and everyone around them.

Unless the old crum confesses and pleads guilty, good luck on proving intention.

Yeah, no t sure how a judge or a jury would find that this wasn't his intention.

If you purposely swerve at the motorcyclist, it doesn't matter what you could "reasonably expect." If he really and truly was startled by a bee, then maybe he's not at fault because the motorcycle shouldn't have been there. If it were my, I'd be beside myself if I accidently did that trying to swat a bee in the car--this guy repeatedly said "I don't care", so you know damn well he did it on purpose.

And then jumps out of the car and says "I don't care?" C'mon man. That is something I can't imagine.

I predict tens of thousands if not more.
the biker can only hope the guy is liquid and not destitute / declares bankruptcy.
