Disagree here. I always take it as my responsibility to take the 'lane' early before going around something. Ideally I'll be have pulled into an overtaking position without slowing anyone behind me.
Conversely, if I want to move out, everyone already in the 'lane' I want to be in has right of way. It's my responsibility to shoulder check for awareness and wait for other road users to pass.

cyclists and motorbikes are shit at allowing people ahead of them around obstructions. They seem to fail to grasp even if they have 'the line' there's no magic lanes they are just overtaking someone in the same lane.
If you can see a bus indicating left and can't anticipate that the road user ahead of you will manoeuvre around it and adjust your speed or you fail to even see the bus, then it's unequivocally on you if there's a near miss.
Fucking hate doing a shoulder check to move a foot further out around a bus only for some Strava prick and his peloton of nodders to all just zoom past within inches without even thinking about their brakes.
Anyone who disagrees how do you feel when a car overtakes you as you go around a parked car?
