After seeing the video I would put fault on both parties. I think he got off lightly and probably should be getting a harsher sentence. However I still think the doc made an unsafe left turn, which as it has been mentioned above, happens far to often in Vancouver and surrounding cities. The driving here is ridiculous for the most part. It is unfortunate that people will see this as speed being the biggest contributing factor and ignore that poor driving choices and unsafe turns have an equal part to play in these scenarios.

Just STFU. You obviously have never experienced making a left turn with an incoming vehicle travelling at 140km/h (nor should anyone ever experience that).
This is how far the Audi was from the intersection when Dr. Hui was making the left. You're full of shit if you would have scanned the "i̶n̶t̶e̶r̶s̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶", I mean 3 whole blocks away for a vehicle that would have made it unsafe to turn in that moment.

That's fucking crazy.
I doubt the Audi was even in the Dr's field of vision when he started the turn. |
