Really? REALLY??
What is this traffic of which you speak? The traffic in the entire video was relatively light and the motorists weren't optimally utilizing both lanes.
I stopped the video at the point of impact. There is exactly ONE car behind the offender. And that car is following at a reasonable distance.
To be clear, I would not on my boldest day ever cycle on that roadway. But the fact remains that the cyclist in the video had every right to be there and was entitled to the entire lane. The driver that hit the cyclist was clearly at fault, and that fault was multiplied by fleeing from the accident.
