Something like this you gotta step back and think 'what if this happened to a cyclist, would it unquestionably be the car drivers fault or would they point blame to the cyclist!?'
So why think differently about a motorbike???

I hope you was able to get the license!
My point is if a cyclist was sensibly either filtering on the inside of traffic or to the right of traffic (which they do) and a car pulled out in the same circumstances I doubt it would be questioned and blame would be pushed into the car driver for not looking properly, change the cyclist for a motorbike and all of a sudden we're expected to accept part of the blame for others poor use of observation!
Some say...
