what kind of road rules do you have where a vehicle turning right can be overtaken by someone on the wrong side of the road and the vehicle turning was at fault?
The lane was already in use when the car turned across it, just as bad as if there had been a vehicle coming from the opposite direction. You cant just cut across somebody's path, and the motorcyclist was entitled to be using that lane for overtaking.
you must have some weird road rules there, there's no way ever that wouldn't be the bike riders fault in Australia, you can't overtake a vehicle turning right on the right, vehicle indicated, nothing coming, no reason for him not to make the turn and some clown goes flying around the outside
As with almost all crashes it didn't have to happen but it did

That and the fact there may road lines reminding drivers of the rules in North America. In Canada, in fairly populated towns, the lines are yellow or white that divide lanes informing drivers they can't make a lane change. On rural roads, where approaching intersections, the lines change from being dashed to solidWould have been unsafe passing (overtaking) here since it occured in an intersection where that's not allowed, and since the bike's speed was excessive for the situation with that not giving him any time to react to the one signal blink he had time to see before the collision became unavoidable.
