When you are planning an overtake you do look for other vehicles who may be overtaking you - but no one would expect a bike to be closing up at that speed AND even it the driver did see him you would expect the biker to give way.
The court obviously felt that the only parties to blame were the bikers.
Extremely sad.

definitely the biker was so wrong! TOO FAST! and "pushing in" at that speed ...The car was just doing a "normal" overtaking...I do feel sorry all the other people around who must be shocked!
