• ok, well here goes.

    pertinent bit of the first clip is at 18seconds in if you look to the bottom right. https://youtu.be/yqEmQG0UKr0

    i hate this bit of powerscroft road, i don't think there's space for someone to overtake safely whilst also keeping clear of the door zone. that's why my positioning is aggressive.

    i don't really know why i retreated on to the pavement, i think maybe i felt a bit safer having street objects, bollards etc between me and the car. i felt safer once i'd noticed he had got out of the car and it couldn't be aimed at me, hence why i stopped and decided to give him an earful.

    if the rider in the thrasher sweater is on here, thank you for stopping and asking if i was ok. i was more brisk than i would have liked to have been. i was feeling embarrassed and ashamed by the whole thing and just wanted to get home as soon as possible.

    the second clip approx a minute in shows what i perceive to be an additional close pass further down the road after they had got back in their car and caught up with me. spidey senses were tingling so i opted to just get to the side. https://youtu.be/9G5saidF1nY

  • Well done for keeping your cool and great news on the conviction.
    You've come out on top in every aspect.
    Nothing you did there was wrong. Taking the lane is never questionable as it's your right. Riding on the pavement as you were being harassed with a weapon is never questionable either.
