Hello again, great video! Lots of clueless road users there.
I wouldn't ride in the door zone so much, as idiot drivers/pedestrians opening the door of their vehicle causes the most KSIs (killed or seriously injured) cyclists in London, UK. Google "door zone londonskaters" without the quotes to see more detail. Of course I'm not blaming your riding, since it's the driver's responsibility to open their doors only when safe to do so.
As a bikerider - I see this all the time. I noticed that the driver of this bike goes at a very good clip which is hazardous in itself since he/she is not on a dedicated bike lane. Slow down buddy! Safety is a two way responsibility. Yes - drivers are in a different world especially when talking on their cell phones and most people don't look out when getting out of a car so one has to be even more cautious when coming up to a parked vehicle.
The real question is why you're passing cars on the right.

Thanks for the advice. I now slow down a lot when passing cabs on the right, and ride further to the left when passing parked cars.
