Have you ever stopped to think [that might be its own answer] about how
aggressive your behaviour appears to fellow road-users?

We can guess the answer.

I think that his behaviour is yet more confirmation of his (justified)
inferiority complex.

He obviously goes out of his way in order to try and appear to be more
important than he really is.

I am amazed that he cannot see how appalling his own actions are on the videos
which he produces.

That's not a box junction.

Coupled with the mini-roundabout incident, I think we can see why Simon
seems to encounter so many problems on the road.

Because there are so many law breaking and careless drivers around?

That's true enough bt luckily I can spot them a mile off like I did
here.

If you go out looking for trouble, you'll inevitably find it. Mason does.

No, because you place yourself at risk, and let yourself get annoyed and
aggressive. I'm not going to argue with your point above about
law-breaking and careless drivers: that is undeniably true, but it is
better to drive or ride defensively, predict problems, and avoid them by
taking yourself out of the situation, regardless of if you are driving a
vehicle or riding a cycle. It seems like you're actually *looking* for
trouble, rather than trying to avoid it. If I video recorded everyone I
saw driving, cycling, or walking stupidly, I'd have a large library by
now, but frankly, life's too short.

For instance: I'd consider your move in the box junction video
overtaking the Corsa (i think) in the narrow section inadvisable. Most
cyclists would consider a car overtaking them with that little room a
close, aggressive pass and be complaining about it. The road is a shared
space and we all need to treat it so.

Similarly, while the mini-island move was certainly not *good* driving,
you weren't actually placed in danger: the car driver was just being a
little sloppy. You need to chill a bit and go with the flow: you'll
still get plenty of chances to cut through the traffic, while being a
lot calmer and safer.
