I don't ride at a steady pace. If I want to go faster, I pedal harder. If I want to slow down, I coast or hit the brakes.
If one recognises the potential danger zone near trucks, and other large vehicles, then there is no reason not to adjust one's speed to get out of it.
Also note in the video there is some wicked left turning traffic coming from the opposite direction. At least one car ahead of the truck took evasive maneuvers. Being next to a truck going straight, one might be rather protected. However, one would neither be able to see the oncoming traffic, nor would one be visible to those vehicles.
