Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

If that were true, wouldn't the prudent thing to do have done be to not pass the bikes that you are immediately going to stop in front of? If that is the case it would seem that the driver should have stayed behind the bikes then pulled to the left, to the curb to stop.
OK, so what about those bikes farther back? If you look at the video, you'll see that the cyclist passed at least one other vehicle before being doored.
