If the incident is genuine (ha!) then it's bordering on victim blaming to say it was the driver's fault for poor road positioning. So what if he's slightly blocking the cycle lane? OMG. Call the police, someone with poor road positioning! That doesn't give people the right to (allegedly) crash into you and cause damage (if that even happened).
I agree and have not excused anything the cyclist is supposed to have done.
My point is that the driver looks to be seeking a confrontation and has deliberately and needlessly blocked the cycle lane: "punishment parking"?
Either way, the whole thing is quite implausible: the cyclist isn't in much of a hurry to get away (calmly waiting to cross the road, instead of legging it around the corner) and the driver makes no effort to catch him.
Something else now occurs to me: are the Luffguss TaxiWarrior and the YouTube TaxiWarrior the same person, or is this all the work of a mega-troll? TW seems pretty clued-up about the forum.

Jeez, I just don't know...
