Different motor vehicle, different driver, same cyclist.

Anyone spot a pattern here?

Yes, but let's not be too harsh. Not all motorists are like that. Many
are not aggressive and do respect other road-users.

Point is though if there is a spot where the same incident tends to occur,
it might be better to either find a way to stop it happening or to use
another route. Trying to educate aggressive drivers is futile, because for
every one that you have a run-in with, there will be another hundred who
need to be enlightened.

There is also a good argument, that when there is a driver who is harassing
you by trying to overtake when it is not safe, you slow down or stop and get
out of the way. It may not be "Right" but at least it means there is no
nasty incident.
