I'm a cyclist and so is my wife.
I hope he reported him.

Ok, at this point I think the company has done all it should ... at this point. I don't think they should volunteer the driver to the police, unbidden, on the basis of a video.
If either the victim or the witness step forward, or indeed anyone who has seen this on facebook/youtube report it, and the police decide to take action, and approach the company for the driver's name, they should tell them.
I also do believe the driver's reasons. We've all made little errors in the heat of the moment. Sadly, though, if you make a "little error" by wielding a weapon (a van or a gun) then unfortunately, it is an error that may follow you for the rest of your life.
Lucky for the driver and the victim that no one was injured. His anger didn't kill anyone. But that's just luck. And his bad luck it was on video. If this incident had killed the cyclist, but there was no video, I suspect the driver would have walked away. I suspect if the camera(wo)man hadn't had a camera, just described what they had seen (with a dead cyclist) the CPS/police might be reluctant to press charges.
Late Saturday ramblings.... sorry

Not as much as I winced at "going forward".

Hmm - I'll disagree ever so gently there.
I've had three or four such responses to some of my videos - basically, the boss saying "Joe Bloggs didn't know I ride a bike myself, and s**t himself silly."

Nah, he simply enjoys searching all over for his consumer magazines.

The driver was 100 percent to blame for this horrible act.
And anyone who thinks otherwise and especially if they claim to be a cyclist, ought to be ashamed of themselves.

No, which knobber in the company was to blame? Witches aren't real so I don't recognise them, just like God.
God doesn't recognise witches? You learn something new every day.

Just like some folk won't recognise that they were groomed as a child.

Here's a big hissy fit about this on Facebook in a triathlete group Im a member of. Lots of cyclist haters there.
