This driver was nothing short of being a thug, he drove directly at a pedestrian and was abusive infront of police, this was all captured on film. Used the vehicle as a weapon ,
I have just watched a video of the driver of this vehicle assault a pedestrian with no provocation and then drive the vehicle into another, on Horse Hill Lane Horley.
I would not even communicate with them beyond saying "you might want to check your reg on (insert website of choice). Entering into a conversation just gives them potential ammunition and behind the wheel of a car a deflated ego can be a very dangerous thing indeed..even more dangerous than what they allegedly did here. Hopefully they'll see this and brush up on the skills they SHOULD know when they passed their test (assuming they did). Namely, cyclists are fully entitled to safely use the full width of the lane; that you should not use your horn in an aggressive manner; that you should not try to intimidate vulnerable road users or any other road user for that matter, out of your way. Then there's the section about stopping outside of the ASL, with very few exceptions. If they can't share the road with others then there's a really easy solution for them I would imagine: fuck off of it..
