After watching the video a few more times you can clearly see the bike deliberately hits the car, as he had more than enough room and time to slow down and/or swerve to the left to avoid a crash, but no he slows down and maintained a straight line.
Could be a simple case of experience versus stupidity/naivety.

Could just as easily have been target fixation I guess

Agrees with Dead Eye.
Bike is accelerating to hard given the situation, sees his exit is being shut off from both sides, red car from left black on from right, panics, locks onto bars, shoulders freeze up and continues in a straight line, As Dead Eye said 'Target Fixation' had he not locked himself up there was both time and room to have slowed some and passed to the rear and right hand side of the black car.
One thing I would say though is that the footage from the dash or Go-Pro type cams can be very deceiving as the are often about 140 degree wide angle that makes things look further away, so the distances involved may not be as great as they at first seem. The upshot is if that was the case with shorter distances than they appear it makes the bikers case worse, the prick was still accelerating to fast.
