If he drives close enough to touch his van - he's too close. And shouldn't have touched his van? Get real. You drive so close you put someone's LIFE at risk and you complain when they are forced - by your neglect (willful or otherwise), to alert you of their presence. Most people don't want to tap your property to remind you of the fact they'd rather not be crushed under your f*cking wheels, mister. This is your doing, not the cyclist's.
Looks sold to me. RIP car.
