I don't give the finger to drivers ever as I find it's hardly going to calm them down if they're already agitated by your cycling whether that agitation is justified or not. A little more patience in overtaking and a look back if only for self preservation might have prevented the whole incident. There are very angry people on the roads on bikes and in vehicles, giving them the finger won't improve your chances of not spending four hours in A&E. The OP did cycle into the carriageway afterall to overtake someone already overtaking someone else, not justifying the drivers assault though. They do need locking up.

My bro is a PhD and his password had to be reissued with Dr on it.

This person has gone to university and obtained a doctorate in his subject.
A NHS doctor can be a professor. Its all about the level of which you took your subject or too what the subject allows.
A PhD makes you a professor.
Once you have obtained a PhD, doctorate or anything similar legally your title is changed to represent the level of higher education. Its Kinda a bonus.

Couldn't find the original story, but basically the car did a close pass at first. Cyclist then filtered passed at next set of lights, driver got all impatient trying to pass him again sounding horn etc. Cyclist again filters at next lights, driver get all upset again and uses his vehicle to knock the guy off and disappears.

Shows you are educationally superior.
Its a point of which you can show off.
Edit: Forgot to mention it gives you a higher social status.
PhD stands for (in Latin) Doctor of Philosophy, and is also known as a doctorate. In the UK at least, that is arguably a more 'proper' Doctor than a medical doctor who, whilst more familiar in everyday life, doesn't have a doctorate (and hasn't done any original research) and uses the title in a more honorifc style. Although medical doctors tend to use the title universally whereas PhDs tend to only use it in a professional context.
A professor in the UK is a job title at a university, usually the head of a department not a specific academic qualification, so could in theory have no qualification and be self taught. In the US it is usually a title for teaching PhDs.
