I ride down that road three or four times a week. There is no way on earth I would let a car pass me. I reckon that the car was less than a foot from the rider, and the rider was already quite close (too close) to the parked cars. He was in the door zone. The driver made absolutely no effort to pass the guy safely, I would actually suggest it was a punishment pass. The rider was probably doing close to 20 mph, the driver had to be doing 30. In that road a 30 mph punishment pass would have he'd me chase the guy down for sure. Under the circumstances I think the rider's opening remarks quite reserved.
