I have seen that video before. I would never get beside a vehicle like that with the possibility of getting in their blind spot. If I encounter a 'box' truck or big rig, I 'take the lane' behind them or in front of them. But never get beside them. There are some videos' on YouTube of cyclists' snaking through traffic taking unneeded chances. In at least one video, a cyclist gets between a big rig and a small car stopped at a traffic light. Then the car starts to pull forward and drift to the left. That result in the cyclist crashing and almost getting run over by the car, followed by the big rig.
