The doc was turning at a speed that even a snail moves faster than that, half way thru the turn he braked. If he turned faster, he may avoid the accident.
People has to realize the danger of making a left turn. There are so many ifs and buts, one poor judgement can get you t boned if not killed.

There's an acceptable amount of accountability on someone making a left turn, but I'd say it goes out the window when someone is going that fast. You just said yourself that you have only seen 90-100km/h in that situation.
It's easy to prepare for someone to blow through a yellow light because you know anyone in the vicinity of the light could decide to gun it, so you wait to see them slow down first. It's a little harder to gauge someone so far up the road that normally they wouldn't be a thought, yet you start to make the turn and they are suddenly 3 times closer than the car that was next to it.
