I kept the line ...

S976UBP. This gentleman in the blue Fiesta didn't, or couldn't, wait another 20 seconds until I passed the next line of parked cars. The oncoming car took offence and blew his horn and Mr Fiesta then decided to make wild hand gestures at me. Cue a bit of, he's slowing, he's going, he's slowing, he's stopped and we're going fr another irrational rant about cyclists should/shoudln't be allowed ....
I think he was expecting a reaction from me but I stayed sat on the bike and let him rant. At the end he gets back in his car and waves me on. And the idiot thinks I' going go in front of him after that display of crap overtaking and his ranting ..

Whilst I think you are always in the right you need to be careful. lots of things seem to happen to you. You will get killed one day and the corner will find this youtube site.

If I had accidentally killed you I might use all this to show you go out looking for trouble.

Please, because I sence you care about road safety, reassess each of you videos to think how you could have controlled the outcome better.

consider careful positioning to force motorists to take note of your speed and position

@bigshineybike. I'm confused by your comments. I do condider my postitioning to force motorists to take note of my speed and position and that is why most of the incidents occur. Motorists expect a cyclist to be in the gutter and can't adapt to anything else. I cycle bout 120 miles a week on my commutes and the incidents are quite rare considering the distance and time involved.

Thnakss for your concern, if I get knocked off and killed, I'll send you an invite to the funeral.

that looks like Twyford Road, Eastleigh?....one of my bike routes for commuting! I'd best keep my wits about me when going that route then!

[idontpayroadtax]

@thebrooksy1. It is Twyford road. Don't worry about him, despite his threats I haven't seen him since.  Maybe he goes a different way so that he doesn't hold up cyclists!

ohmigosh i scared at 1:15 of his face with teeth like a old witch lolz

he shud stop driving xDD

[idontpayroadtax]

@bestlyricsvids. Because of his teeth?

[Perplexer1]

Whooaaa, WTF was that ? A crooked toothed monster.

[AZZ3R1]

Surprised the camera didn't just shatter at 1.15, theres ulgy people, then ulgy people but this guy is ULGY.

A piece of shit, driving a piece of shit! People are always in way too big a hurry. I realize you're a mouthy turd but chill Ford driver, your drug dealer will still be there, no need to abuse the guy on the bike. Good job btw Sir, glad you stood your ground :-)

@Blueman2805 maybe my rose tinted specs are on :-)

[jim10101010101]

I wonder what part of that guy isn't ugly..

[Blueman2805]

@robertjamesfrost It's a fallacy to assume that people weren't always confrontational morons. You might have grown up around people who weren't like this (god knows I did) but the general public has acted like this for a very long time.

[robertjamesfrost]

Another example of new Britain: "aspirational idiocy", where the first thing you do, as a grown adult upon initiating a conversation with a complete stranger, is start f***ing and blinding at them, for endangering their safety with your 1 tonne, wheeled, metal death-box. The intellectual race to the bottom is clearly almost at it's conclusion. The idiots are poised to win.

[CONNER3497]

[thewizardofrhythm]

@bigshineybike Possibly the most ridiculous comment I've seen on Youtube so far.
