A right mentalist that one.
 
Golly Gosh!

The motorist appears ill-mannered, ignorant of the HC and a generally poor road user to swing across when it meant impeding the oncoming traffic (the headcammer).

I live in a market town with narrow, closely-parked roads and one gets this sort of thing a lot - although usually rather less blatantly and oafishly than in the clip. I really do get the impression she thinks she's in the right. I cannot imagine how. Her driving is vergeing on the bullying.

However... I fear we may have here another headcammer who is delighting in having found 'postable' footage. It is a fairly bland, everyday piece of motoring duncery that he just has to elevate to top billing in his own masturbatory theatre of street heroism.

She is undoubtedly a colossal turnip, is utterly in the wrong and ought to have been listening when manners and good driving were being taught.

He gives the impression of being just a little too excited about recording a confrontation with somebody who's in the wrong and looks like a man who wants to have the last three hundred words. Or more.

Neither party comes out of it looking clever. But she is wrong. He is just a bit of a tool.

As an aside, I re-watched the excellent Wind that Shakes the Barley a few nights ago. It is as harrowing as it is beautifully framed and filmed. In the back of my mind, I find the echoing question "Did I shoot Chris Reilly in the heart so a cock with a headcam and a paranoid loon with no roadsense could shout at each other about rights of way?" I may be cheapening the heroic struggles leading up to the civil war with that comment... But really!

The woman is wearing a hi-viz jacket and has another behind her drivers seat which suggests she has issues. But I can't understand why the cyclist is swearing so much? There was no need to confront her.

Cyclist should have just stayed where he was in front of the vehicle and waited for her to move over. Maybe get the HC out and start to read it in front of her while waiting. He could have read the section to her where it says it is illegal to park on double yellow lines. She would have moved ........... eventually. He does appear a bit of d1ck though.

I dunno, I think there's comedy value in the posting of this one that a wider audience can appreciate, and that's in the woman's behaviour and reaction. Especially the "I'm a lone woman being attacked" bit. Priceless. More content than the usual headcam videos which tend to demonstrate just poor levels of driving/cycling/awareness.

Actually I have a horrible feeling she would have waited until he got to page 25 and then mown him down anyway.
