Moron's obviously got a major screw loose. Rozzers should be involved as it looks like he was trying to force the cyclist off the road. Viewed with volume down but I think I got the jist of it.

Disco driver was initially at fault, but the swearing and posturing was equally bad on both sides IMO.

Interesting. Depending on the markings on the cycle lane, the driver may have a point about the rider not being allowed there. Cyclists in London (and other areas these days) are a real problem these days, mainly because there is no accountability for them. I have had one ride into me while walking across a pedestrian crossing when he went though a red light and I am far from alone in that happening.
Another pillock. Why is it these people always cause trouble when they are barely even affected?
I was on my usual cycle route the other day and when I came up to a small downhill section a car came up behind me as I was speeding up down the hill. This is a quiet country road and it wasn't a safe place to overtake, and I wasn't holding the car up at all. After this there are some bends and I push on fast to get to a place where I know it's safe for the car to go past. Before getting there, this car overtakes on a blind bend and the stupid git sticks his finger up at me. Charming.
Some people's attitude towards cyclists just sucks, and not just drivers but also sometimes pedestrians who think they're hard done by because you didn't arrange an appointment to cycle past them.
Where I cycle is pretty much always completely rural, and if I manage to come across these sorts of idiots occasionally I dread to think what it's like in a city...Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

I wasn't aware that there was such a thing as a road (by which I mean a public highway) that cyclists weren't allowed on? Current: Discovery 3 06MY (55 reg) HSE Auto Zambezi Silver Allisport Fast Road Intercooler, V8 Brakes, Silicone IC Hoses, EGRs Blanked, Remapped, De-Cat pipe, FBHIC

Seems to me like something must of happened previously and then the cyclist put his cycle-cam on to record as if he knew something was going to happen
No excuse for it though, we all need to use the road at some point

I reckon he's spent too much timewatching The Sweeney! Goes round giving it large in his leather jacket thinking he's Ray Winstone or something. Although actually the look was a bit more Paul Hollywood with the greying goatee Either that or his tight trousers were cutting off the circulation to his brain!
I love the bit where he's ranting about the cycle lane. Proper whacked out at that point. The cyclist who filmed it hasn't learnt about calming things down though. Shame no old bill was about, could have nicked the pair of them for public order and put them both in a cell to calm down. Driver started it but the cyclist just kept winding him up, ended up acting as stupidly as the driver. Luckily there was one sensible cyclist about to try and calm it down.
Word to the wise. Given that the driver had clearly lost the plot, I would not have sat on my bike behind the car or anywhere near it. If he'd lost it totally and slammed it in reverse both cyclists could have got badly hurt. Thank goodness that didn't happen.Tony

The result of when 2 idiots meet.
Disco driver shouldn't have went for the overtake, the yellow Ka's overtake was dodgy and the D4 should have hung back.
Biker shouldn't have kept mouthing off, helmet cam or not, winding up people further doesn't help.In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.
