Commentary:
If what I’ve read in the news turns out to be true, that the van turned into the path of the moped, then the van is probably going to take the lion’s share of the fault in this accident. Motorcycles and mopeds vanish into blind spots, and their silhouette is much less defined when looking at them dead on, so if the van failed to check and see if the path was clear before they turned, they’re probably going to be held responsible for the accident. Drivers need to keep a watchful lookout when they’re turning for a reason.
