From the video most likely the car did not signal and the bikers had to avoid him as best as they could. Seeing this a lot I would not have gone to the left but the rider that hit the car may not have had any choice. Hit the rear of the car or try to go around? Trash the car, you bet.

you're just talking nonsense now... that's what the double yellow line means, it's basic driving. every 15 year old who has taken a permit exam knows this.

A mob-like attack on a Lancaster man sends the victim to the hospital and his car thats no longer drive-able to a junk yard.
State police tell CBS-21 News the attackers were a group of about 15 motorcyclists who reportedly roughed up the driver of a car following a problem on the roads.
The victim said his car is such a waste he no longer has a need for it.
A shattered front windshield on a Plymouth Sundance marks the spot of an angry fists punch. A shattered back window was the final blow to the victims vehicle, the victim himself has an equally shattered arm.
Angelo Couyou of Peach Bottom did not want to talk about what happened to him, he doesnt want any more problems. According to state police a group of about 15 motorcyclists were following the four-door Plymouth down route 272 south on Monday.
The victim slowed down to make a left-hand turn as at least one motorcyclist tried to pass Couyou on the same side, despite double yellow lines. The bike and the car collided - Couyous left arm hanging out the window was instantly smashed. The bikers, then reportedly began taunting the driver. They asked him if his blinker actually worked, questioned his insurance, ripped off his license plate and fired off angry curse words. Within minutes the car was destroyed.
A state police trooper says he believes the group got heated because they didnt believe that the victim used his turn signal.
Police tell us the bikers were from Maryland and took off heading in that direction. If you have any information youre asked to call state police.

Anyone who can give these scum a pass, just because they're on bikes, has something wrong with their thinking.

Well for me, I want riding tips from the rider that hit the car ( and unfortunately broke the cagers arm ) and stayed upright to ride on to Maryland. That's some good riding right there after a big wreck.

"In some states, it is not against the law to overtake vehicles in the presence of solid yellow lines if it is safe to do so. Section 3303 and 3305 of the Pennsylvania driver code are examples. Vermont State Law also allows passing of the double yellow line when no traffic is on the opposing side, however, one must pass quickly and return to the proper side."

And in case you're contemplating the standard response that wikipedia is not a reliable source, feel free to look up the individual statutes of various states. I found the above in less than 30 seconds, and that's already more time than I have to educate you.

I don't know about you, but I have always made a special effort to be aware of motorcycle riders. I give them extra room, plenty of signals and a lot of respect. I can't even imagine having a group of riders behind me and turning without giving a signal. If I did, I would deserve to have my arm broken and my car totalled. Sounds like the perp here recognizes that fact (or else is just scared, which works ok for me, too).
