Riding fast in the first lane passing parked cars is definitely not the safest thing to to, regardless of the country.
Judging by the swear words in Russian, you've probably guessed the part of the world this footage comes from. We're looking at a double fault here, as both the rider and the car driver acted mindlessly.
First of all the guy in the car should have checked with his side mirror for incoming traffic. It was an unlucky rider this time, but the next similar occasion might bring a dump truck which would do a very unfashionable kind of tuning to the Scirocco. He will get fined.
As for the rider, he's also to be blamed for a bit of mindlessness: the maneuver itself is a bit dangerous even with no one opening car doors impromptu. With the small lateral clearance, any evasive maneuvers are seriously hampered and in case anything goes wrong, chances for a crash are simply very high.
And adding in one too many mph over the safe speed is definitely not the shortest way to making it safely home. This crash was only too easily avoidable.
