You're speculating - it's not what you think you know; it's what you can prove. In this instance he has proven how he has driven. That's it. You would have no complaint making groundless slander based on assumption.
KNOW when to ride primary or even central; in this instance the position was fully justified. You may be legally entitled to use any part of the lane but if you do it just because you can, or to annoy others, then you are playing with fire especially when drivers like this run you over..
Many cyclists have been killed riding in the door zone - DON'T DO IT. By comparison the worst that could happen to this driver is bent metal and scraped paint.
Footnote: If you think this gives you the right to ride in the middle of the lane for the sake of it, or the middle of the road talking to your mates on a pavement (not that the cyclist in this video is doing it), then take note of the following. You are a grade A prick and shouldn't be surprised when people get angry over the risk you pose to yourself and others.
Why doesn't HE go to the left? Because he's talking crap. You are NOT required to ride left at all times and you are NOT required to ride in the door zone. You ride a safe position, which means you are legally entitled to use as much of the lane as you want. Indeed, riding a more prominent position is positively recommended by all respected cycle craft authorities including the government's own advice.
The rules for the driver are something he clearly refuses to understand. Well, in simply terms..
. Give cyclists at LEAST as much room as a car.
. The obstruction was on your side - give way
If you look earlier on, you'll see the driver reluctantly cede priority to the car in front of the cyclist. This because the driver in question appears to be going rather fast for the conditions, don't you think?
