Apart from breaking this HC rule.

Rule 268 of the Highway Code states – do not overtake on the left or //move// to a lane on your left to overtake.

What if the lorryist was using the left lane to turn left? I don't see how the fact that the lorryist changed lanes after safely passing the cyclist makes a difference.

He went straight on though.
