[Closed] Cyclist / cycle lane / "road rage" video

Are you sure? It's hard to tell exactly what he says over the wind noise, but he shouted something about cycle lanes twice (I think) when he was still in the car.

I'm not sure, but it's the impression I got. I don't for a second think that the copper wasn't a prize plonker either though. The line that the cyclist took, [i]especially[/i] if their had already been words about staying in the cycle lane, was particularly pillocky too. In the context of the rider having a bee in his bonnet about a suggestion that he should stay in the cycle lane, it looks a lot like it was deliberate in order to provoke a reaction from the copper. That to me strikes me as just as nobjockish behaviour as the copper, IMHO, of course. It looks like he was a good 10' from the cycle lane at one point, whilst maintaining an intersecting course with the police car, it looks to me.

I've watched it a couple more times, and isn't it actually the cyclist in the respro mask that causes the initial pip of the horn as he moves infront of the cop car as traffic starts moving,

The verbal interaction just after the corner seems to be between the copper and respro dude, at which point the camera cyclist cuts up the police car by riding past the passenger front wing and straight to the centre of the lane in front of the copper,

Call me a cynic if you like, but it's almost as if the camera cyclist spotted a good opportunity to wind up plod and obtain some self righteous footage that will cause a mini furore on forums across the land/hits on his YouTube channel...
