What on Earth gave that person the idea that he could force his way through a
traffic jam and just pull into the queue wherever he liked, to the clear
disadvantage of those then stuck behind him as a large gap in the traffic
opens up in front of him because he can't keep up with the rest of the
road-users?

Why would he (or anyone) be surprised that those he had disadvantaged took
exception to it?

Whatever happened to waiting your turn?

What lovely people you trolls are, condoning using a phone while driving, spitting and driving through a red light. It puts the self righteous moaning about cyclists into context.

The correct word is in fact "ignore"

Cognitive dissonance in action

Criticising the legal action of the cyclist while remaining silent on the illegal behaviour of the moron in the van amounts to condoning the latter's actions.
