I see this too. The driver does not deserve to have a licence. He is local and I have witnessed him doing exactly the same in his lil boy racer car that looks like it should never be fit to be on the roads.
The driver was in the wrong.he didnt judge the speed of the cyclist correctly.
I bet he thought he wouldnt be as close as he was.
im a cyclist and a motorist(30 years).ive had this situation myself and the motorist didn't know how fast i was going.
we all make mistakes as cyclist and motorist so best just to be honest and appologise!
"There being no third lane for him to overtake"
So there was a left hand lane for you to pull into to let him pass? you just chose to be a nuisance and a hindrance for half hour, if he wants to speed off who are you to stop him? Stop being a little vigilante and keep to the left.
From what I saw he didn't make you change speed or direction and if he hadn't of parked up you wouldn't have caught him.
I personally think you're a muppet for going back and being the antagonist.
For every bad cyclist there's a bad motorist and for every bad motorist there's an arrogant cyclist who thinks they have equal right to the road.
Pay tax, pay tax on petrol, have insurance, an MOT, don't run red lights and maybe motorists will have some sympathy with what is YOUR choice to be a cyclist on something designed for cars, not designed for bikes.
