^ This is exactly the point. I didn't do anything to have deserve that aggressive reactions from the driver. Yes, I did overtake on the right, which wasn't as safe as overtaking on the left. And some people have already backed me up on this that I might or might not have done something wrong, but either way, it didn't excuse the driver's behaviour. Maybe he was having a bad day, maybe he was born a cunt, I don't know, but he didn't have to right to threaten me the way he did, hence the complaint.
I think the confusion was that I underestimated how long the red light would stay on, so half way through my overtaking, the green light came on, so it was a little messy and I think both myself and the driver could have been a little more patient. I don't know... it's over now, let's see what the bus company says.
