That comment is inconsistent with other statements from that report. It's also inconsistent with typical traffic conditions for the time and location of the incident. I would suggest either mispresentation by the officer or misreporting. There is a very significant discrepancy where at least one witness suggests that Mason overtook the car just prior to the incident. If this is borne out, then it would indicate that a failure to see him should be classed as unacceptable driver behaviour due to an absence of attention to the road.
