   What I've gathered from around the interwebs:   
      
   The car was stopped in the left lane of a limited access highway in a   
   curve. The vehicle in front of the motorcyclist changed lanes veering   
   out of the way at the last moment exposing the parked vehicle. The   
   motorcyclist was also distracted by the woman wandering in traffic.
