Shocking aggressive driving yesterday afternoon in Donnington Telford.
The lorry was behind me , tailgating , and then came even nearer , so I could literally just see the front bumper and grill of it , filling my rear view mirror.
It was terrifying.

Ownership of a car and tax is irrelevant. Car tax doesn't pay for roads - almost everyone pays including cyclists, through local and national taxation. So you are actually paying a disproportionate amount because almost all road damage comes from vehicles. "Road Tax" does not exist.
What's most important is that you have -as you correctly state - as much right to be on the road. If the driver doesn't want to share the road - as required - then they are the problem, not cyclists, not other drivers. Them. They agreed to share the road as a condition of the license. Solution for them: grow a pair and walk..before you kill.
What a bellend - country in the middle of a lockdown and this lad decides it's time for him and his entitled arse to take a nice little break from it all in Snowdonia.
Parked right on a junction on a busy A road on yellow lines, what a selfish pratt.
