The fact that he was in a 1/2 ton pickup and they claim they did not see
him, negates all his arguments about only looking forward, not up / down.
As to getting rear ended and seeing it coming, yes you can. I got rear
ended at a stop light. Guys brakes failed, and I sam him coming to fast,
but no where to escape. I laid across the seat and braced myself.

The driver who, quite literally, pulled to the left when we were parallel [I
had a guardrail on my left] couldn't recognize that the blue door panel was
part of a vehicle.

His claim to have looked was a phoney: I actually happened to glance over at
him just as he went to move into my lane and his head never moved.
