Taking the lane on a 4 lane road

In this video there is a narrow lane present which the motorists needs to use a portion of the left lane to overtake a cyclist with three feet of width clearance.

This is what you can expect from motorists because there are no laws which require a motorist to move over to the other lane to overtake a cyclist. They only need to provide three feet of clearance.

It is ambiguous for me to try to define what is three feet as all they pass me. Clearly some don\'t and some are questionable. Some motorists simply move over to the other lane and allow the maximum clearance. What constitutes as a \"safe three feet overtaking\" is left up to someone who won\'t get hurt.

By law the two lane positions are correct, The first position to the right resulted in at least one close pass with a cargo van.
The second lane position to the left, yields better results in my opinion. [For] The person who is subject to death and injury.

This is a good example of why a cyclist may choose to use the law and move to the left to communicate to the motorists that this is a narrow lane and a motorist will need to use a portion of the left lane to overtake the cyclist as the video shows, and provide better visibility for the motorists.
