The biker has to be aware of what is going on around him, know how to swerve, how to cut between cars and how to brake. Car drivers are not going to change and most bikes that get a car turning left in front of them are usually speeding.
Most motorcycle accidents on the street are at speeds of 30 mph or less, and most of those are the fault of a cager.

I am frequently disgusted at the inattentiveness of cagers, both while I'm in my cage, and while I'm on my bike.

Part of me thinks that there should be some sort of harsher penalty for being at fault when a motorcyclist is injured.
