If you start going frame by frame right before the impact (hotkeys for YouTube are the period and comma keys), you will notice the motorist wasn't even looking at the cyclist. They were looking straight ahead with their hand up, which presumably was to block sunlight. While I can buy the excuse the sun as in their eyes, it's still not an accident. If you can't see, you slow down enough to adjust for the conditions. A person is going to be royally messed up for the rest of his life because someone else didn't have the patience to exercise what they learned in driver's education.
This is also why I get a little tired of hearing education as the answer to all our problems. It serves a useful purpose, but it only goes so far. Motorists do this stuff all the time because they don't fear the consequences. Our penalties are a joke, and we don't even require proficiency testing every so often. Seriously, why is it an unreasonable expectation that one be required to retest on the road every 5-10 years?
