Whether the car was speeding or not, I think the chap on the scooter would help himself if he paid a little attention to his road position in mind of keeping himself safe (nothing about his legal positioning) - even though he is right, it's a silly argument if you are dead.
At 29 seconds in you can see a tarmac join in the lane which is over to the right hand side of the lane, at 31 seconds you can see the moped rider look over his right shoulder and move over to the right of the tarmac join - this must put him 4m at least from the kerb - in the very next moment the Jag passes - foolishly and dangerously.
If an HGV can pass the jag parked while the Jag scrapes the scooter, then how far over was he?
two wrongs don't make a right and I think both parties are just as stupid.
