An advanced driver will give themselves more safe options than those simply written in the HC
I often say to my associates - where would you be placed if there were no white lines ? - that gets them to think about how close they really need to be to parked cars etc instead of using white lines to determine that

Why would you consider it safer to create potential conflict with opposing direction traffic.As opposed to minimising the distance left when passing parked cars,assuming sufficient room to do that without crossing the centre line ?. 
The obvious question then being why are you placed on the wrong side of the road if/when there is no need ?.Bearing in mind that we see this type of muppetry routinely on our parked car clogged streets.Let me guess you’re now going to say that it’s better to risk a head on collision to allow for equal muppetry among those who open vehicle doors into passing traffic. 
Which then leaves that question of the BMW driver example in the vid ?.

Your concept seems to triangulate around the removal of road surface markings fostering the same behaviour as “advanced motorists” in road users with a basic level of training.
The reality is post a period of adjustment, familiarity will breed complacency. Joe public average does not have the situational awareness or cognitive 3D mental model abilities to draw upon under demanding situations of low light and poor conditions. When situational awareness collapses, confusion and overload quickly sets in along with diminished ability to identify, prioritise and mitigate immediate overt risk. For example, to immediately slow down.
Some truly odd behaviors set in when this confusion takes place. Time and again research and accidents have shown this to be the case in even be highly trained people when situational awareness is lost.
Road markings form a significant input to the average driver’s mental picture under demanding conditions. Not on a sunny day when an “advanced driver” confidently drifts over lines to smooth the road, but on wet dark nights in poor viz. From the 18 year old to the 80 year old.
Without further training or indeed the higher natural cognitive abilities that are absent from most average road users, situational awareness will collapse quickly under those conditions. It’s just adding a further latent risk in the threat and error chain that years of research has indicated required.
