You are right. But I was acting in the video as I suspect a novice or ill-informed bicyclist would act to show the problem. Coy… You are right.

Ranked 4th is Bicyclist is at fault 11% of the time because of 'Left turn from the right side of the road.' Even if there is a bike lane, you should act like it isn't there and act like the driver of a vehicle to make a left turn. This should be from the left 1/3 of a 2 lane road.

Especially since he managed to get that amazing right hook. That's exactly how most people ride in bike lanes, and it's how they ride on roads without bike lanes too. The bike lanes reinforce bad practices which lead to most crashes and conflicts. Seeing the road from that perspective explains a lot.
