If you have that much experience with 'pricks in cars', have you ever thought that it might be you who's the problem? Road rage confrontations shouldn't be a regular occurrence for you. Got any helmet cam vids of you showing someone what for? I have a popcorn maker I've not used yet.
Advanced level misdirection and trolling - he's reacting to your comments about spraying joggers with your windscreen washers

Some PH posters are a funny bunch with their extreme straw man approach. For example, you don’t like tea? Let me guess you’re a Brexit supporting murderer! You wonder how these people have discussions in real life 
Agreed - that was a bit of an odd one. However, playing the ball rather than the man, how you feeling about the highway code having heard the arguments against your view?

Long blast of screen wash and a triggering queens wave out the window as I drive past usually sends the message: Get off my commute road and go to the running track/gym.
I've just spent a week in Dubai on business, surrounded by influencers and self-appointed VIPs & z-list celebs, including most of the return flight at the bar on the A380 with even bigger bell-ends...and still none of them come close to the 
ery you manage to display. My congratulations.NRG1976 said:

People who jog into oncoming traffic are following the highway code, they looking after their safety. They could easily jog on on the other side of the road, but that would mean they would not be following the highway code and putting themselves and others at risk of a crash and injury or death
How have you got a driving license?
I hope this was sarcasm.
All the talk about cyclists reminds me of last summer when I was walking my dog along a bridleway when a cyclist flew round a corner from behind. Luckily I heard him and turned just in time as he almost hit my dog but I yanked her back just in time. Cyclist ended up on the grass verge and narrowly missed crashing into the beck. Since it had rained earlier the grass was wet and he tried to get back on the pavement but ended up losing the back end and low sided it. His mate then comes flying round the corner and tried to emergency stop and almost went over his bars. Could have been a bit grizzly if he’d gone into the water as it’s a decent drop and a rocky one at that. Genuinely could have been a life changing or life ending incident if he hadn’t managed to change direction

The strange one is say if there is a group of you walking in single file (think ramblers), then you have to walk with the flow of traffic and not against. You wouldn’t have thought the danger of being hit by a moron is any less?

Hmm, have to say if this is in the HC I am unaware of it.I wouldn't walk or jog with my back to the traffic.

Plus from the HC
Rule 2
If there is no pavement, keep to the right-hand side of the road so that you can see oncoming traffic. You should take extra care and be prepared to walk in single file, especially on narrow roads or in poor lightkeep close to the side of the road.It may be safer to cross the road well before a sharp right-hand bend so that oncoming traffic has a better chance of seeing you. Cross back after the bend.

Why would i wear a camera running ?
Mouthy blokes in cars shouting at women happens all the time so are you saying the women are asking for it by wearing shorts and vests in the summer ?
Now you just sound like a BBC interviewer Mouthy blokes in cars shouting at women happens all the time so are you saying the women are asking for it by wearing shorts and vests in the summer ?

Probably be a byway. Where I go is a public footpath that leads to a byway that leads to bridleways and farmers fields
This is a bridleway, old RAF baseBit further up from where the beck is but he’s a brave man walking his off leash as there’s also a few electric bicycles that I’ve had the pleasure of avoiding
