Lane One Can Be a Very Dangerous Place

This video has a very strong educational message, especially for fresh riders: when the other vehicles slow down or stop before a crossroads, you should do so, too.
Unfortunately, this rider seemed rather happy with all the stopped traffic, ignoring an altogether very obvious situation which should have triggered a defense reaction.

When riding in the first lane and approaching a junction on the right side, one should assume that the stopped vehicles in the upper lanes are doing so to let another road user steer left on said road. Therefore slowing down and a careful approach to the junction are mandatory and the simplest, plain common sense ways to avoid getting in trouble.

Darting ahead through the intersection is NOT the way to go in such scenarios. And the video clearly proves it.
