Whoa!!!! Nice reaction time he has there.
I like this vid aside of 2 things. After a close call, take a few moments to ensure your int the clear before cussing/looking back at the situation and then don't "gun it" after the fact to possibly create an additional questionable situation straight away after the first, unless you're running for your life. Aside of that, the guy did the only thing he could do, gas it and try to move out of the way. Nice find akima.

I had to use a mirror to understand what happened.
I would never be able to ride in those backwards countries !!! That would be a left turner driver cutting the turn and almost colliding with a right turning rider. If pulling from a alley instead, a cyclist coming from the left side-walk could have surprised the rider the same.
