I love how calm the driver remains during the exchange. That turns out to be this whttp://youtu.be/Kk3MM69eKjM

Irony of the month quote?Hang on, extra dose of irony as I edited the quote and ignored content to make myself feel right on the Internet?
Ps: you're clearly not out as you said earlier, keep going until you're right, I feel it won't be long. A few more edited quotes and you will win the argument....whatever that is? Car door size or maybe centimeters per overtake? All first world stuff.
Then PH will be calm again until some one else is silly enough to mention the C word in a bad light. Then the pedalanistas will strike again...........

Mega, mega JERK. He is continually desperately looking for a fight and Peugeot owner nearly gave him one, very sorry he didn't manage to.I think this sums it up for me, nothing much wrong with it, guy is apologetic, but he feels the need to stop and try to goad him into a confrontation!

The cyclist here is a mong, no doubt, but the underlying point is totally bang on.
Why is it okay to park on the pavement to make it easy for cars to pass at the expense of pedestrians? Why is it okay to block the solid-white-lined cycle lane instead of the driveway of the house you are delivering to?
It's because Mr Important here is in a van which is more important than anybody else. And it's not just vans either. Entire roads down here where the pavements are chock full of cars, junction visibility is blocked by people parked right on the corner, etc. "Well I couldn't get parked" they say. Tough titties, buy a better house, or park somewhere else and walk then you selfish lazy blob of kenneth.
Much like littering it seems it's an acceptable crime now. Not enforced by anyone, and the great unwashed don't give a crap anyway.

Delivery guy will be parked there for 5 minutes tops and cycling around the van on that road causes absolutely zero inconvenience to a cyclist. Whereas pulling into someone's driveway and then reversing out onto a main road is a massive pain in the arse and potentially far more dangerous.

I don't know about "mandatory cycle lanes", but loading and unloading is allowed on single and double yellow lines.

ks to that, I'm tired of it. He could have stopped, waited for it to be safe, then reversed into the drive way. About 25% of delivery drivers do it at my workplace, so I know it can be done. The rest just can't be arsed. Besides, it's the general attitude of it I was talking about. I bet he parks causing inconvenience to people all over the place, all day every day.
And you're wrong anyway, it causes both danger inconvenience to cyclists and other drivers, firstly because cyclists now have to change lanes into traffic, and while passing it the cyclists also then run the risk of getting doored by the van driver getting out, secondly because somebody might be trying to leave their driveway behind it but now has their view obscured by a whacking great van on what looks like a fast road.

What an elitist prig.
I don't block pavements. I don't block roads. I don't chuck cigarettes out of my car window. I don't block people trying to merge at merge-in-turns.I consider those to be basic (but apparently not common) courtesy, essentially: don't put other people into unnecessary inconvenience or danger. If that makes me an elitist prig, so be it.
As I said, the cyclist is a
for acting as self-appointed road police. That much is clear and I would never do that. But, the underlying point there in that video is valid.I don't think the cyclist done himself any favours chasing after the car. If one of those vigilante cyclists chased after me Id give him the choice of walking way or hobbling away with the camera rammed up his crevice. Some of these idiots have more cameras than a BBC outside broadcasting unit and I for one would take objection at being filmed without consent.
