Muppet! (the driver, not you!)
Also, if he knew he'd be going past the red light, he may have wanted to have been further from the junction so if cars pulled away he wouldn't hit them. Just a potential idea....probably more likely that he just didn't care and wanted to scare a cyclist.

It's just a hunch, but I bet the police in Croydon do absolutely bugger all as they will say they can't clearly identify the driver. Might there be additional CCTV footage?

I'm hoping on it, it's right next to the town centre and the police station is only just down the road.
I've only had good experiences with croydon police and cycling. so we will have to wait and see on this one.

I wouldn't say he has DELIBERATELY done this to have a go at you, how ever at the very least he was racing the lights (&failed) so you have either an NIP for fail to stop at lights (3points and £60) or summons to court for due care and attention.
Make sure you ask to speak to Traffic rather than the local bobby!

With those two videos like what you have put up I would like to do split screen but can't find how to do it yet.
sort of like 50/50 for a front and rear view.

In some video software progs you ca use an overlay video track to put picture in picture. Resize and position and it will play along with the main vid.
Youtube has various how-to vids on it if you look up "picture in picture"

If you do that you must follow it up swiftly. I did the same as you as a result of a stupidly close overtake. I didn't receive any reply for ages and, when I queried this with the Met, discovered that because some lazy plod had failed to act on the report the time limit for any official action being taken had passed. Sounds ridiculous, I know, but this has to be done, if memory serves me correctly, within about two weeeks.

The sad thing is, I don't think it was deliberate.
I'd actually feel better if it WERE deliberate...that would mean just one malicious bar steward out there. I think it was "just" bad driving. Some drivers don't "do" roundabouts. More of them than would deliberately cut up a bike for shoots and giggles.

From Memory a Notice of Intended Prosecution must be sent out within two weeks of the incident (not two weeks of the incident being reported).....So yes follow up and get your skates on about reporting it
