I've never once seen a cyclist be aggressive towards a motorist who hadn't first threatened or harmed the rider by some act.
I have, though not often. I have seen plenty of cyclists who are aggressive towards pedestrians though.I've never once seen a cyclist be aggressive towards a motorist who hadn't first threatened or harmed the rider by some act.

It's because drivers watch videos on YouTube, innit.
I've seen that, though rarely, too, with probably the worst last year on a mixed-use cycle path which is popular with all kinds of users - the Liverpool Loop line. I was on my bike at pootling speed, and there were walkers around too. A couple of riders in team kit came belting along shouting "coming through, coming through" and started swearing when the rest of us didn't obediently and instantly leap out of their way and they had to (shock, horror) slow down a bit.I have, though not often.

Possibly.While driving

Not illegal, but it's not alright either because we've known for over a decade that it makes you drive almost as badly as a drunk. Alternative source"while some 45% still think it is alright to talk on a hands-free mobile phone."
It's not illegal is it? Unless they're referring to using a normal mobile phone in speaker mode, which is
I'll admit to being less than pleased with the driver of the van that just had to get to the next set of lights, about 50 yards further up the road in Shipley.OK hands up, it was me. I often take out my frustration with car drivers by close passing them at speed or tailgating them whilst aggressively ringing my bell until they stop blocking the road and get out of my bleeding way!
I don’t have Tourette’s . The car drivers really are....Do they define what an " aggressive cyclist " is ?
Is it their style of cycling or are they routinely peddling along hurling insults at timid motorists.?
It's not "Cyclists" or "Motorists" or "Truckers", or whatever else. Many people are just more aggressive now and it does not matter what their mode of transport they will be peanuts. Of course the bigger the vehicle the more harm you can do, but I'd bet the finger wagging shout at everyone bike riders behave just the same when they drive a car.
If I feel it's not safe, for me, to let them past, I'll take & hold primary as long as I'm moving as quick as they are.
They don't like it, tough.
Some cyclists are just knobs. That's the way it is. Some motorists are too. Again that's the way it is.It's a shame the questions didn't seem to dig deep any deeper. It would have been illuminating to know what they think may be causing the cyclists aggression.
