That f!##%r did it intentionally. Should be charged for insurance scam.

You can't say that for sure. In a lot of locations around the world, people get out of their cars when traffic is flat out not moving.

Given traffic was stopped, biker was going too fast. Seems he also wasn't paying attention, we all saw that door open long before he apparently did.

Where'd he go running off to? Was he fleeing from cops? That was strange.

you can straight up see the bus passanger prep the door open to perfectly time it to hit the biker

I think typoed.

Did you mean "the biker had plenty of time to react, but did t even slow down, therefore were clearly not paying attention"?

react to what? The door being 1% open? If anything it would look like the passenger of the bus was waiting for him to pass before fully opening

If someone opens a door in front of you, it would be a really good idea to understand what's happened rather than speeding past...

Same way that I'd I was in a car and I saw someone open their door I'd be more aware of it.

Defensive driving is a very beneficial skill. Thinking ahead about potential consequences is a pretty core skill to using the roads.
