I would say if a vehicle enters a speeding vehicle's right of way, both could, but not necessary would, be ticketed.  When it comes a question of liability, then you have "comparative fault" or "contributory negligence", which is a fact driven scenario.  If the speeder was going 5 miles over, it probably won't much of a difference to his recovery, but, say, if he was doing double the speed limit, I would say the speeder has definitely limited or destroyed his right to recover from the other driver . . . . .

BTW, there are already bids on the ebay item.  Idiots must make the world go round!

I'm refuting your statement, but that is quite an assumption (and one that many non-riders make).  I have lots of friends who have been hit by cars, and just because they were on a motorcycle does not mean that they were "exceeding the speed limit by a high amount"...

I don't know the particulars of this accident, but I'd have to say if 
you are exceeding the speed limit by a high amount, and someone turns 
left in front of you, they're going to have a pretty good defense. 
Especially if you're on a motorcycle.
