So, honestly, in that video if you were the cyclist and you heard or saw a car speeding up behind you, you would pull out into the lane in front of him? So the driver will look up from his texting just in time to see the cyclist he crashes into? I didn't think so. All I am saying to the OP is that he probably should get used to the fact of cage drivers that pass closely - because it's going to happen when you ride, and it's going to happen a lot. I don't know anyone that rides that it doesn't happen to.
Taking the lane is an appropriate tactic in many situations, but not in the op's video. I imagine if the cyclist would have taken the lane, the driver would have passed even more closely, probably faster and in anger.
