At the risk of being called a sociopath, which I've often wondered about myself anyways.. I'm not totally sure after seeing the video.

We could all agree that generally, left turners need to make sure the way is clear before turning, and part of driving is gauging the speed of an oncoming car.

If the driver was going 20 over (70km/h), we'd all probably say it's the left turner's fault.
If the driver was going 200 over (250km/h), we'd all probably say it's the speeders fault.

So I guess we're all just arguing about what the reasonable limit should be for pushing liability onto the speeder as opposed to the left turner.. Is it 70? 120? 180? Does the time of day matter? Assuming the same visibility, is there more of an onus on the left turner if its 9pm vs 9am?

just thinking out loud..
