If you were going 20mph, that car would of completed the U turn by the time you got to it....not trying to be a dick or anything, just pointing out the facts.

Looks like the CA speed limit is 25 in residential areas. Yes, he was going over but not by much.
If Jiggles had left a few seconds earlier and had been going 20-25 he still would have been hit. I don't think the +-8 mph makes a huge difference.
Having lived on a residential street similar to that, I can say residents get lax on their own streets and generally act like morons. Ask my friend who had their car doored because the person opened it about a half second before my friend passed the car. Yeah sure if she had been going a little slower she may have avoided it, but the other person should have been paying attention to what they were doing.
