   And he was whipping thru city streets at 100mph anyway.

   I rewound and played the video at 0.5x speed, several times.   
   The bike was nowhere in sight when that car began turning, it was far   
   back *behind* other cars. Then it shot out at insanely high speed from   
   between two cars and into the intersection.   
      
   The bike thief wouldn't have done that stupid move if he could have seen   
   the left-turning car ahead. HIS fault that they couldn't see him either.

   OK, but that isn't what I get from this video.
