Also BSRU, would it be Ok if I attempted to "normalise" the soundtrack to your video and upload it as a response? That way we should be able to hear the audio much better.

Hi everyone, I am worried sick and need advice.
I was driving a works vehicle (private hire) to a work colleges house yesterday morning down a quite residential road, a cyclist was riding in front of me, he was a couple of feet from the kerb, as I got closer, he looked in his rear view mirror that was fitted and he drifted towards the centre of the road, as nothing was coming I over took him using the opposite side of the road, I was travelling well within the speed limit. as I passed him he blew his air horn that he also has fitted to his bike. I checked my mirror to make sure I was safe to move back across to the correct side of the road and the cyclist was gesticulating at me, I thought his behaviour was bizarre but I carried on. at the end of the road there were traffic lights which I stopped at. the cyclist who still had my attention caught up with me I could see he was saying something. however the lights changed at this point and I started moving forward. He stopped his bike and gesticulated again whilst shouting at me which I couldn't work out. I was baffled, so I stopped and reversed back to the stop line at the lights, by now he had moved to the side of the road towards a lay-by, he was still looking at me saying something I couldn't work out, and he stopped in the lay-by, the lights were still green so I turned left and into the lay-by behind him. I braked in behind him but because the road was wet I slid ever so slightly. Now at this point I'm not sure whether I touched his back wheel or if he rolled the bike into my back wheel, however I am aware that contact was made. I got out and asked him why he had been calling me a "******" and what was his problem. The cyclist said I tried to kill him. I said "what are you talking about!" I then said you can't go through life shouting and clalling people a ****** just because you feel like it" he said "I didn't". I then realised this was a childish encounter and got back in my minibus and drove off, I had to turn around at the roundabout and come back the way I had been, and saw a woman talking to the cyclist that may have witnessed the whole thing. I thought by now that if I had touched his rear tyre he may say I left the scene without giving my details so I turned around again and went back, the cyclist was now stood there on his mobile phone, so I again pulled into he lay-by and said "I thought I had better give you my details so you didn't accuse me of leaving the scene of a accident. he said to the officer? he was speaking to, oh he has come back and is being abusive, I said no I just want to give you my details, I said my name and address which he repeated to whoever he was talking to, I then drove off again.
I was annoyed at myself for putting myself in that position, and have just found out that this cyclist is actually quite well known for driving around my local town recording what he deems to be dangerous drivers then posts them on you tube, he did have something on his head that could have been a camera, and one guy I spoke to said he actually provokes drivers for reaction to get good footage.
The cyclist did not fall off or anything and there was not a mark on his bike, I did not threaten him at all, I did raise my voice and I may have called him a idiot.
I'm worried he is going to accuse me at driving my minibus at him. Which I swear I didn't, which would result in a ban? which would be job loss etc etc.
Can anyone give me advice here please, that may stop making me feel so anxious.
Thank you very much in advance

1 He admits contact was made between bike and car.
2 He initialy says he does not know what the op was saying but later asks why he called him a self-gratification artist?
The guy is toast.
Fixed that. not that I am cycnical about the actions and attitudes of the police to cyclist

What an idiot. Not the most dangerous or idiotic of drivers out there, but certainly an idiot.
I'd phone his employer and email them a link of the footage. See how they view one of their employees driving like a fool.

Sure no problem, the audio is pants.

Might be worth adjusting your rear camera so you get the wheel or pannier rack etc.. in the shot.
It gives a better perspective as to how close the driver came to you, as on the rear view it looks like his initial pass was a bit of a late manoeuvre and certainly not what i would call text book.

That is excellent, his description doesn't match reality, seems he will say/write anything to avoid the truth.

What chance does he stand of sucess?

Lost it, got it again.
Depends on the description given on the video page.
Probably none, I have had this happen before, I just reply stating no breach of UK privacy laws have been broken as it has been recorded in a public place.

I'm glad about that. I have it on my Facebook page as well.
The more places it exists the better as far as I am concerned, he's already lied about what happened now he's trying to hide what he did.
