Sorry, Ashe, but I'm afraid your logic is well off here. You seem to be implying that there is a possible justification for the driver's actions--FYI there is of course no justification whatsoever for this malicious and dangerous assault. Even had Frankie been riding 'in the middle of the road', there would still not have been any 'reason' for them to attack him in this way.
If you are worried about taking the lane when you have to, you will be able benefit from cycle training. Have a look at dancing james' excellent report back from his cycle training lesson today:

Everybody can learn something from cycle training, no matter how experienced, and it is a wonderful boost to riding.
