Around here, when the bike lane line turns dashed, that's considered the right turn lane. Also, the truck freakin' just passed Joey, which means the driver obviously did not check for bikes as he/she was making the turn, or just didn't care.

But at the same time, I personally would have slowed down from that 21+ MPH flying speed to prevent the possibility of that sort of incident.
You are confusing legal fault with the kind of "mushier" fault assessed by insurers. Legally Joey had right of way and the truck did not...full stop.
