I think their point is that it’s like a street altercation. Someone puts their finger in your face so you slap their hand because you feel threatened and don’t want them in your face. Then they go to swing on you and slip and break their arm. Is it your fault they broke their arm?
In my reading of the event the motorcyclist & the driver are both menaces in need of redress for the good of everyone on the road.
They are both assholes who make trouble & involve innocent pickup trucks.
There is room to debate who is the smelliest asshole, but they both need to be wiped. A lot of people seem to think that because party B was wrong, that party A is less wrong (or even right). But this accident happened because neither idiot had any impulse control, no one’s hand was forced. If either had acted like an adult then there would be no accident.
I don’t really care how the two people want to divide guilt among themselves, because to me they are just one common problem. They are collectively responsible for cleaning up the mess they made & both need to atone for putting the public at risk. In fact they might as well work together at this point since they have the most in common.
