What do you expect? You can hardly engineer confrontation if you're riding correctly.

The trick is to ride dangerously and badly enough to cause conflict, but not so dangerously that he gets squashed (he hopes anyway...if drivers were as dangerous and reckless as he made out, he probably would have been by now).

It's rather sad that people like this exist really. Though mercifully, there aren't many of them (Spindrift, Magnatom and this person seem to be about the worst, though it could of course be that they're all the same person; perhaps Spindrift has resorted to moving regularly between England, Scotland and Wales to make extra specially sure that he can't be traced over the Internet).
