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.
And that is where you want the woman to warp to, right in front of the left hooking traffic. Many here can ride dam fast, but at least most of us would admit to not be able to warp ahead of that truck right when it pulled alongside. Step off your Trekkie bicycle and come back to the real world.
