Sad to say but things like that have a way (albeit unfortunately) of sorting out the chancers from the responsible riders.
I wouldn't ever wish a fellow biker any harm no matter what but at some point their irresponsible actions WILL have severe consequences.
A young lad I heard about recently who rides a gsxr600, only a provisional licence, (so.. in effect has no insurance) has just had a pretty bad accident, he was doing 80mph in a 30 zone, hit a car coming out of a side road, totalled his bike and the car, car driver has serious injuries, the biker has broken both legs, left arm, right ankle, right collar bone, ruptured spleen and severe concussion.
And to top all of that ... the car driver is suing him for everything he's got and everything he's going to have!
My first reaction to this news was ... what a total t#@t, but at the same time ... I wished him a good recovery and hopefully he'll learn from that experience and become a responsible biker.... assuming he'll ever be able to throw a leg over a bike again.
A clear case of Karma. Unfortunate... yes but if you ride like a t#@t... at some point you will regret it.
