The driver turned across the path of the 'bike, and admits to not seeing it except through the side window.

Doesn't matter whether it was a motorbike, cyclist, tractor, wheelbarrow, horse & cart, lorry, bus, car or steamroller, they still turned across the path of another vehicle and caused it to take evasive action, that would not have been necessary if they hadn't turned, therefore they are in the wrong.

Maybe he wasn't there to be seen when he started the turn.

Isn't that what OP said? (Or clarified later).

That said ... maybe the biker was there but OP didn't see him? From the OP's perspective it amounts to the same thing ... OP didn't see him ergo he wasn't there to be seen. Doesn't mean he wasn't there.

But all us keyboard warriors can debate this until the cows come home. We weren't there and didn't see what happened, so none of us can claim to be correct.

What you saying, he wasn't on the road but might have been on the highway or public place but he wouldn't have seen him if he was sorn in a private place?

I see what you did there ... conflating my response above with a response in a totally unrelated thread.

I think people will see that your post reflects negatively on you far more than it does on me.

You're all wrong

By the way - Ian Spencer -

you have mistaken MSE for a place of logical and reasoned discussion
