Commentary:
People have a tendency to blame victims in turning accidents, when they really are not armed with enough information about the accident. Whenever people are about to make a turn, the traffic they are going to cross is almost always heading right at them. I personally know accident investigators and veteran police that cannot determine the speed of a vehicle when it is traveling in your direction. If the driver of the vehicle he was turning in front of was speeding, the victim may have thought there was ample space and time to complete the turn.
