It would be perfectly reasonable to expect someone to emerge from the junction as demonstrated. But even proceeding with caution, you'd stand no chance with this prick van driver: their thinking distance would be negligible. The same for if a kid had ran across the road between parked cars. No time to react.
I think that anyone with half a brain can see that the van driver is going way too fast for the conditions. What if the dash cam driver hadn't reversed? Also shows why people shouldn't park near junctions as it creates blind spots.
Did he fail to stop at the scene of an accident to exchange details?
Did you call the police to report their dangerous driving and harassment?
Do you have video?
If they do it again, lock your doors and keep your hand on the horn to alert attention. Drive to a busy place, ideally one that has CCTV (petrol station or supermarket), ideally a police station with a car park.
The driver of this heavy tipper drives on the M42 in heavy traffic at 60 mph and 2m behind cars for long stretches. He is an accident waiting to happen
This driver is a typical example of why so many people are put off cycling.. he's nothing more than dangerous, selfish prick.
He should not be on the road - he would fail a test acting like this.

What did he say as he passed?
