The distance the driver had to the car in the next lane isn't really that important. The fact that they had a good 2' of room to the left of their own lane IS important. They never deviated from a lane center position even while overtaking that cyclist! It's maddening when they do that. But ... and you know that with Leisesturm there is a but coming ... I KNOW when I do something like toast a stop sign or roll early on a red signal that it is going to piss off the drivers near me. I'm not expecting ANY sort of goodwill after that. Given that, I would have been less worried about the freaking door zone and would have stayed well to the right until that fool went past me. They did stop at the end of the block, but moved off after seeing that (assuming that) the cyclist wasn't badly hurt. That's my take.
