Thanks for your concern! I have to commute along the same main road that's pretty much the only entry to Biggin Hill from the north.
As you're an experienced driver, what do you suggest I change to increase my safety w.r.t. D4N?
I am resisting the urge to be flippant and say get the bus, but seriously BM I don't think there is anything you can do as regards D4N on the road.
Leaving aside my personal opinion about your methods as they aren't relevant here if D4N if he is wound up enough to jump out of his car like he does in this video and clearly drives too fast as per the independent witness's account then he is one of those few drivers that needs the law to deal with him.
I really feel that instead of enaging him again your best bet is to follow up with the police daily until they at least go and talk to him. I think having an officer of the law turn up and caution him will make him think whereas another altercation with a cyclist is only going to further entrench his already skewed mindset.
I will post again on Scoobynet and ask anyone who might know him (as Scooby drivers tend to be enthusiasts of the marque) to tell him or even he himself might be reading (although I doubt he can) to calm the **** down.
