Watch the video again. You, and others, have failed to notice or acknowledge that the motorist was actually in a safe lane position up until about 1 second out of the crash. Even looking back every second or so, this one would have been difficult to avoid. And being on the shoulder may not have helped. The driver easily could have hit the cyclist there, as she may have only corrected her right drift after and because of the impact.
