Kodi David Grandville Callesen explained to police he didn't see the motorcycle when he made a turn from Union Road into Calimo Street.

Magistrate Rodney Brender told the Lavington teenager in Albury Local Court on Tuesday that it did not matter, before the law, that he did not mean the collision to happen.

Rather, the charge of negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm was predicated on Callesen's momentary inattention.

He just had not taken complete care.

Mr Brender said the motorcyclist suffered greatly from being struck by Callesen's car.

Police told the court the victim sustained a fracture to the socket of his right hip bone and a fractured foot.

He also suffered a laceration to his knee.

Callesen, 19, pleaded guilty to the charge.

The court heard that Callesen was working at a Union Road, Lavington, pizza shop on the evening of August 10, 2018.

He left the store about 7.50pm to deliver a pizza order to a residence in Calimo Street.

Callesen was driving his girlfriend's black Mazda 2.

The victim left work 20 minutes earlier, travelling home on his motorbike.

Police said the victim was heading west along Union Road, at about 60km/h, when he saw a vehicle travelling towards him.

As the victim approached the Calimo Street intersection, he saw this car turning into his lane.

"The victim did not have time to brake and he felt the impact of the vehicle to his right leg," police said.

"The impact caused the victim to fly into the air, doing a somersault, landing on his legs then falling on to the ground."

Callesen suffered only minor injuries.

He remained at the scene and when police arrived, told them he simply had no recollection of another vehicle on doing his turn.

The victim was transported to Albury hospital, where his injuries were so severe he had to remain there for several weeks.

Mr Brender placed Callesen on a 12-month community corrections order.

He also disqualified Callesen from driving for two years on the charge, which carries - on conviction - a maximum loss of licence of three years.
