I tend to take the Catholic approach, and report most, but not all, of those I felt worth uploading. Let the police separate the sinners and innocent.
Is this worth reporting?

There was plenty of space. We entered the roundabout at the same time ish with me doing prob double his speed and with the way the roundabout is he would have to slow to turn. No issue in that but he still tooted me. I checked right before entering and at the time seen enough space and the video in my eyes shows the same as I seen at the time. Maybe that's not for all but giving way would have wasted space I could use and in turn I used it. Nothing unsafe at all about it unless others disagree. IMO of course.

The only person's opinion you should worry about is WVM. As you approached the roundabout you could see him waiting, you should have slowed and given way. He clearly thought the same as me, but was a d1ck so drove dangerously afterwards.
I'm not having a go necessarily, just trying to make you think twice so that you don't put yourself in the same position again maybe.
FWIW if I had been in my car I would have gone too, but on the bike I wouldn't have.
The only way to know if it's worth reporting to the police or not is to report it to the police and see what they do!
Call the non-emergency number and explain politely and clearly what happened. It'll take you 10-15 minutes max.
They'll pass it on to the police who'll decide if they want to take it further.
Easy.

It pains me to say it but I have had worse and not reported it. It might just be me but I have that many incidents its just pointless to report them as I know there wont be much of an outcome.

I know every says cyclists need to be protected because the consequences are far greater than a car.
But i would use the same rational in what should be reported or not. If some one pulled out on me a junction in the car, i would probably curse and swear a little but that would of be the end of it. The consequence could easily be quite bad if one or both did not take evasive action.
Same goes if I misjudged pulling out and then got tail gated because i p!ssed the person off. I would never consider reporting it unless it became more serious

Talks the person on a low rider barely 2 inches from the ground.A bit of roadrash on your palms is unpleasant, but it's not that bad.
