Here is a letter I have sent - perhaps a few more on similar lines

I notice on this one:

He admits to his mistake of not using the whole lane to overtake, but
he misses the fact that he overtook a car that was indicating to
change lane. While that is commonly done by aggressive drivers, if you
do that on two wheels it is suicidal.
If you are going to overtake a car that is already indicating, whether
stationary or not, you do so at your own peril. Rights of way are
meaningless when you are dead.


In his video "Undertaking On A Roundabout", the same poster castigates a
car-driver who passes him on the nearside on a large roundabout. The
roundabout seems to be the one seen in the video referenced in the OP
and the cyclist is way over to the offside, hard up against the island
(incidentally passing over a distinctive hatched-off area).
Perhaps he thinks that it is unlawful to pass on the nearside on a
roundabout (it isn't). And if one really objects to being "undertaken",
perhaps it'd be btter not to hog the offside edge of the one-way stretch
of road which is the carriageway of a large roundabout.


Another of his videos ("White van-driver teaches me a lesson") appears to be
functionally identical to the one involving the private hire car - recorded
over the same route, in the same sort of conditions and almost at the same spot.

Different motor vehicle, different driver, same cyclist.

Anyone spot a pattern here?
