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.


You forgot driving an unregistered motor vehicle without VED or
insurance.


Thug needs locking up, and will probably be, when anpr catches him.

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?

'Turn'? What you on about?

It's called 'overtaking' and is a perfectly legal move.
===================================

Do you overtake queues of people waiting to pay for their groceries in a
supermarket? If you did, you'd soon discover that it's not the right thing
to do.

Do you stay in the inside lane of the motorway just to be polite ?

Do drivers in the nearside lanes of motorways *often* decide to drive down
the white line separating that lane from the adjacent one (with a line of
traffic in each lane), then pull left in front of (say) a lorry doing 50mph
and slow down to 15mph?

That'd be about the equivalent.


Do motorcyclists filter between the lanes of stationary traffic to
make progress ? - Yes


What have motorcycles got to do with it, other than being something you think
might salvage a lost argument for you?

Filtering is not illegal. Not even for bicycles.
Assault is very illegal but you choose to side with criminals who
attack fellow road users..


Do motorists deliberately close the gap to stop them doing this, for
no other reason than to be a spiteful **** ? - Yes


Do they? I have never experienced or seen it.

Another driver who doesn't look where they are going. This must be why
in your previous post you were terribly confused as to the difference
between a van and a bicycle

Not that it is anything like the same thing. I am happy to be overtaken by
any motorcyclist proceeding along the white line because I know that they
will leave me standing when the road opens up in front of them.

Too fast to spit at then

Drivers overtake cyclists all the time. They don't seem regard this as
queue jumping.


And it isn't. Overtaking and swapping places by forcing one's way through in
a stationary queue are simply not the same thing, no matter how much it would
be a convenient "argument" for you.

And how fast does the traffic have to move before "swapping places"
become "overtaking"

(You can tell you have a strong argument by resorting to pedantry that
still makes no sense)

Nor do cyclists see this as an issue so serious they
must perform revenge attacks.


Revenge for a faster vehicle passing you?

I should think not.


Leaning out of a vehicle and attempting to spit at someone then going
through a red light is of course a clear case of driving without due
care and attention.


That was not an attractive thing to do and was unjustified. But in its turn,
it does not justify the exceptionally bad road manners of the cyclist, which
were undoubtedly the trigger for that disgusting action of the driver.

The cyclist simply was not an innocent victim. He provoked the retaliation
and had no need to do so. It is, in fact, hard not to conclude that he
thought it would be a great joke to hold up the van.

Or he could have made a simple misjudgement and came across a driver
with mental health issues.

Don't scoff at that: other cyclist posters have boasted here very recently of
the inconvenience they have caused to other road users and left readers in no
doubt about they had found it amusing.


A saw a BMW driver driving in a dangerous manner. Therefore all BMW
drivers drive in a dangerous manner. (same "logic")
