No. Because you still haven't answered the question. Responding with rhetorical questions is not answering the question. So let's try again.What specifically is it about the cyclist's observable behaviour that makes him a selfish t

My point exactly. Too busy being argumentative to see it though.
There's still pages and pages about cyclists, widths, gaps etc, which is completely missing the point imo. None of that is here nor there at all, imo.The only thing worth talking about, once we've stopped laughing, is why is a lunatic allowed to drive?
Amazing really. Two grown men, one just generally angry with life, and one a bit of a road captain, allowing what should have been a nothing incident, at most waved off with an acknowledgement of apology, allowing it to descend into that.
They were only a string of sausages and a crocodile away from a Punch and Judy show FFS.

I would say not paying attention to other road users.What specifically is it about the cyclist's observable behaviour that makes him a selfish t
t?It's also down to cyclists to read the road, there is two lanes enough for a cyclist and a car. If you don't want the hassle of a close pass make sure you don't get one when you hear a car behind.
I don't think the pass was that close, I know where the camera is mounted, his rear camera seems to be mounted further out as it no longer shows his back wheel. Whether this is to make car look like they closer I don't know.
I take it you have seen his YT channel ? He must spend half his life down the police station, I've not seen one of him being knocked of yet.
How much room should there have been on that road ?

The 200 odd videos of altercations on the road?
I'm assuming that the 405 driver didn't recognise him as the star of those videos when "planning" his overtake...Mave said:

Repeating this nonsense just makes you look even more ridiculous.It is the job of the vehicle behind to make sure they leave enough room when they overtake.
Not the other way round.

I won't be taking advice from you.

Maeve doesn't know. She's just guessing but as already pointed out by a few posters, it's difficult to judge the gap due to how the camera is mounted on the bike.
We do know the road is wide enough for a car and cyclist. I would say the end section before the junction isn't.Ghibli said:
I guess we can both agree that it wasn't a close overtake then ? Bearing in mind the road is wide enough for a cyclist and a car. Or are you saying the motorist wasn't close enough to the parked cars on the right.
Nope, can't agree to that. I've referred to it a number of times as a close pass, so I think my opinion should be fairly clear.What's not clear is why you won't explicity answer the question of what observable behaviour you think makes the cyclist a selfish t
t before the overtake.St John Smythe said:

It's difficult to judge in absolute terms to a few cm. It's not difficult to judge that it's less than an acceptable distance especially when there's a known linear dimension to scale off.Mave said:
