Good afternoon,
I see the whole situation quite differently.
I have acquired a base assumption that riders with helmet cameras will be in the wrong most of the time they complain, they may technically be correct but they were probably riding in an anitsocial manner.
This dislike come from my experiences that many->most riders with them have them because they ride badly, insist on their legal rights without regard or consideration to anything or anyone else and as a result get into more awkward positions.
That video hasn't altered that starting point.
As for the company's response I quite like the stop whining you silly self important little man response, how would the rider have reacted if the van owning company had sent him a letter saying your riding was dangerous?
As a general principle the idea that a video posted with the text see this dangerous driving could be libellous seems perfectly reasonable to me.
I also suspect that there will be more upside from people thinking thank goodness for someone having the courage to tell that annoying cycle brigade to shut up than downside from people annoyed by the response.
Bye
Ian
That really does surprise me.
