The facts seem to me to be that the cyclist is, as he says, legally allowed to cycle where he was. The driver of the land rover executed a manoeuvre that looks at least ‘careless’ (driving without due care and attention if you must get technical) if not – by the time he swerves to menace the cyclist – ‘dangerous driving’. I assume he was convicted of one of these but I could be wrong. The driver then threatens to kill the cyclist, while the cyclist taunts the driver.
I therefore believe it’s pretty one sided and tend to disagree with Bomberman (sorry, not flaming, just my pov!).
To me, the potentially more important (longer-term) point is that the driver has the attitude of ‘cyclists get out of my way’ and this has no place in 2015. The evidence to support this view is the driver telling the cycling he should be in the cycle lane. The fact that there’s a cycle lane near-by, to my mind, is irrelevant and misses the point (and in some ways IS the point) – there could be the world’s slickest cycling lane nearby – but the cyclist is still allowed to use the road.
I may end up feeling sorry for the driver and his business but if this example does anything to alter the tolerance of bike riding in the UK then I will be happy (although for taking the shot of himself on the scales he deserves the public vilification). My fear is that, by ‘picking’ on the driver, we miss the opportunity to make the wider point and do some good for cyclists as a whole.
