Had the driver not taken evasive action a lot of innocent's lives would not be effected.

Only relieveing the roads of one less crazy motorcyclist (if that was indeed the fact).

Drivers of large vehicles have to take into consideration the size and cargo of their vehicle versus hitting a smaller errant vehicle.

Buses and Trucks are not sport cars and do not handle well in evasive maneuvers.
