I would say that the biker was riding quickly yet 'reasonably' responsibly. Yes, he could have been riding slower, but if some idiot slings 1200kg of car in front of you then there will be tears before bedtime regardless of how fast the biker was going.

Who was to blame?

70% the car driver......30% the biker. Cyclists, as Mr Guffers video shows, have the same problem of cars turning right in front of them.

Although Bicyclists are less likely to die if a car pulls out in front, than a Motorcyclist doing say 90mph..... 

True. But it will still be the car driver that caused the accident. Be it a cat a cyclist or a truck. As said the principle still stands.
