Taking the lane would have protected the cyclist from the door and let

'car' not van.

Thank you for the correction, but I'm not sure what difference it makes.

as there is a van in one of the pictures it could confuse someone.

The camera car was not making any attempt to overtake afaics.

If cyclists had compulsory roadcraft education before being allowed on
the road, crashes like this one would be greatly reduced.

One assumes that you agree with taking the lane then?
