I think this demonstrates a good point. Realistically, the distance from the kerb shown means that a driver can still get by without crossing the white lines. Once drivers have to cross the lines to overtake they seem a lot more comfortable in doing so by a bigger margin. If they can get away with saying just inside then they will, regardless of the risk to the cyclist.
I think that as cyclists we should be encouraging motorists to see the whole of the road space as suitable for use when it's safe and legal to do so.
