      @@firstname405 Legally, in the UK, it's a bit of a grey area (no pun intended). If the cyclist is counted as a separate lane of traffic, it's legal to pass on the left; if he's not counted as a separate lane, it's not legal.
      But I wasn't talking about the law, I was talking about practical matters of safety. As they say, "The right of way is not a right worth dying for." Passing that way is dangerous for three reasons:
      1. if the traffic lights change, the truck will start moving; if it moves to the left, the cyclist could get crushed;
      2. if the truck is waiting to let somebody turn across his path, that vehicle will potentially hit the cyclist (this is more or less what happened, though it looks like the scooter was pushing his way through a narrow gap to use the left lane even though he wasn't going left);
      3. even if nothing goes wrong immediately, passing the truck means the truck will have to overtake again after the lights, and being overtaken (especially by wide vehicles that can't give you a lot of space) is one of the most dangerous times for cyclists.

      @@beeble2003 I'm a little puzzled since it seems legit and safe to me. 1. The truck must signal before changing lanes and be aware of who is to his left. 2. Whoever is crossing in front of the truck does not have the right of way for oncoming traffic. They must look around the truck before proceeding. 3. Being overtaken is to be expected on roads for bikes. You stay to your left (or right in the US) and hope for the best.
      All that said, your points on safety are correct. I HAVE been hit by an overtaking truck that didn't see me and left me just 18 inches between the curb and the truck. I hit pickup truck's sideview mirror with my elbow and the curb. I blew out my front tire and got a baseball-sized hematoma on my elbow. No other harm though. The driver stopped and called the police and I got nice restitution for my damages from his insurance. He got a ticket. He was supposed to give me 3 feet, (a meter) in the lane.

    I’m not a scientist or logistical person, but I am one of Pfizer’s test subjects for the vaccine. I love videos like these. Being poked and prodded wasn’t a difficult job but they still make me feel like my time spent in the trial was worth it.

      When I read the title I was like "coolest" that seems unlikely but no actually that is probably the coolest place, so I guess Grey's superlative title was in fact not hyperbolic in this rare instance.

    I was lowkey hoping you'd get vaccinated at the hospital Andrew Wakefield used to work at :D
    And it seems you had the same experience as I had when I got vaccinated here in Norway: supernice and superbly organized people at the vaccination spot.
    I almost wanted to stay a while, and listen.
