I think it was quite obvious (except to the cyclist doing the filming) that he moved forwards in order to let traffic behind him get onto the left filter. You can see them clearly getting through when he’s moved up a tad.
I would call this considerate driving, from someone who is obviously aware of what is going on around him.
Any pedestrians wishing to cross have these things called legs which would have been able to steer them around the front of his truck.

This comment on youtube regarding the video sums it up:
“Get a [zb] grip you cretin.
So he’s overshot the junction. Big [zb] wow.
If it bothers you that much, then feel free to tell William or Tinkler that one of their drivers is a naughty boy because he’s gone over the white line. There could be many reasons why he’s done it, none of which you would have a [zb] clue about.
I’m an Eddie spotter? They could do without bell*nds like you.
And if he’s so bad, why are you driving a vehicle and holding a video device?”
In fact I’ll hold my hands up and say I do this everyday in the coach!!!
Coming out of one of our big corporate customers and heading back to the yard there is a set of traffic lights and keep clear markings, the only way to clear the keep clear and sit at the lights comfortably is to slightly overshoot a bit
Its on the Bath Road in Slough
To those that are knocking the ‘driver who’s filming whilst driving’… It’s a cyclist with a camera on their helmet obviously

Agree 100%.
Too many bloody busy bodies in this world, poking their ■■■■■■’ noses in, mind your own damned business or the next time I (erm… I mean they…) run over a white line, it may have an added speed bump in the shape of a lycra clad cyclist
We have “green road” on our vehicles and they measure braking so quite regularly ride the line, lights change so quick and you have to feather the brake

Same with me. I am having to brake very early because of it as i get a bollocking for “Harsh braking”

The person who originally posted the video looks like one sad individual, just checking through some of the other 420(!) lame efforts http://www.youtube.com/user/4ChordsNoNetthey’ve uploaded really makes you wonder why people like this bother to take up space on the planet…
Now if i was in a lorry or a car i would have stopped further up and flashed her out. This person rides and blocks her path and once she sees a gap she drove for it leaving him to scream like a girl
