There is no way possible to anticipate every possible variable a motorist will take.

Therefore, the best mode to take is to follow the rule of law and then adjust according to safety.

A totally different scenario than the one demonstrated in the original video. In this animation the truck was already in position, and signaling at the time of the cyclist approach and attempt to pass.

In that instance, it was the cyclist (or any vehicle for that measure) responsible to wait -- until the truck had completed its WIDE turn.
