Can someone explain how this happened?

Scenario:

I'm in an intersection making a right turn, after checking if the box is clear, I go ahead and turn, just as I'm about to complete my turn, meaning I'm nearly parallel to the road, a bike comes zooming in from the through road and hits me at my left fender at an almost parallel angle..

Then he proceeds to fall to the right...

I was expecting him to fall left since he claims I up and hit him and I came from his right side thus it would make sense if I shoved him to fall on his left, but his bike fell to the right.

The only reason I can think of is that he was moving right and trying to cut into my lane.

I'd appreciate your thoughts..

your fault still, wherever he falls. you were the one making a turn. he was going straight. he had the right of way. di porke nauna ka ng 100 meters or even more or di mo siya nakita e lusot ka na. the bike was in the lane before you made the turn no matter what you say it was clear.

the bike was speeding? true or not it is a separate offense and does not exonerate you from your fault.

Dashcam would've helped a lot in your case. Not those cheap ones, but those which has a wide angle of view.

I do have a dash cam with wide angle view 60 fps HD, it's a viofo a119.. still he's nowhere to be seen until impact.

I assume you're one of those people who think right of way is more important than giving way to automatically assume the fault is on me?

Last clear chance doctrine - is stated, a person who has the last clear chance or opportunity of avoiding an accident, notwithstanding the negligent acts of his opponent or the negligence of a third person which is imputed to his opponent, is considered in law solely responsible for the consequences of the accident."

Ra4136sec35 Restriction as to speed.(a) Any person driving a motor vehicle on a highway shall drive the same at a careful and prudent speed, not greater nor less than is reasonable and proper, having due regard for the traffic, the width of the highway, and of any other condition then and there existing; and no person shall drive any motor vehicle upon a highway at such speed as to endanger the life, limb and property of any person, nor at a speed greater than will permit him to bring the vehicle to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead.

Sec42 (a) When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right of way to the vehicle on the right, except as otherwise hereinafter provided. The driver of any vehicle traveling at an unlawful speed shall forfeit any right which he might otherwise have hereunder.
(b) The driver of a vehicle approaching but not having entered an intersection shall yield the right of a way to a vehicle within such intersection or turning therein to the left across the line of travel of such first-mentioned vehicle, provided the driver of the vehicle turning left has given a plainly visible signal of intention to turn as required in this

In Adzuara v. Court of Appeals, it was established that a motorist crossing a thru-stop street has the right of way over the one making a turn; but if the person making the turn has already negotiated half of the turn and is almost on the other side so that he is already visible to the person on the thru-street, he is bound to give way to the former.

Which means I had both right of way and a reasonable expectation of safety when I made my turn.

so where did the bike come from?

lookit the tama on his bike. is it on the left, or is it on the right? lookit the tama on your vehicle. take pictures.

but... is there something wrong with your dashcam? why did it not record the bike as he was crossing your path?

checking twice is not enough especially with these reckless mc drivers..

I was turning right on the intersection from 6oclock turning right to 3clock. The bike came from 9clock going straight to 3oclock. When I had almost completed my turn the bike slammed into me almost parallel from behind to the left, he hit my left fender skidding forward all the way past my bumper that's why the dash cam couldn't get him until point of impact...

Just to add my dash footage clocked in my speed at 10kmh at time of impact. And while I didn't see him until impact his police report statement records that he'd already seen me 50meters away. If he was running at the speed limit of 40kph that averages out to 11m/s meaning he had nearly 5 seconds to avoid a collision but instead chose to barrel through the intersection at speed...

you have two left fenders, po. is it the front, or is it the rear fender, that bike hit?

it seems, you did not see the bike...

is the intersection a big one, or is it a small one? how many lanes? could the bike have been hidden from your view, by something?
were you making a sharp turn? were you driving fast?
how's your visual acuity? do you need corrective lenses? were you talking with someone, during the maneuver?

the bike should have fallen to its left, if it were an inanimate object. but as there was a person semi-controlling it...

how dark is your driver side tint?
