No look, everyone who thinks this guy is a nutter is wrong, the man driving that truck is my grandad, hes been driving for over 40 years, he got told off and warned for this, you could've had him fired before he wanted to leave work, I'm sure he has more road experience than you, and dont call me biast, but its the truth, stop this now 'monkey' because its causing un needed attention. You almost put a 62 year old man off the only career hes got, for doing nothing but overtake you. Think about it

Doing nothing? That was a homicidally dangerous overtake, IMO. Driving like that should most definitely receive attention as it is incredibly dangerous to cyclists. If it's a one-off, then fair enough, I'm sure your grandad (really?) will learn from it, and won't likely overtake a cyclist like that again.
I suggest you remind him that there are thousands of us with video cameras now. We're not prepared to put up with this kind of driving any more.

If the person driving had been fired, then that would have been an overreaction from the company. All I wanted was to bring it to the drivers' attention that the overtake was dangerous and poorly planned.
Experience on the roads has nothing to do with how you drive or your attitude on the roads.

Not a bad reply, but a comment from someone who claims to know the driver in this video:

Okay, experience does affect your driving because you get into habits. What I meant was that experience doesnt mean you are a good driver.Not sure I agree with that.

I agree with that.
In general, I think an experienced driver will be better than a new driver, but obviously there's a wide range of competence.
Yes, and a wide range of ability to learn with experience, and ability to exchange learning with lazy and easy bad habits.
