Some interesting stuff in Observations 2 for you to learn from.
Riding in the blind spot of a people carrier is not the best place to be.
Same with the grey Nissan Almera, you are closing the gap, undertaking if you will, on a section where there are three lanes going in the same direction.
You could clearly see the black van was being held up by a bicycle.
If you had slowed a bit and left enough space the van could have got past the cnut on the bicycle.
So vanman is probably cursing you too.
That's before you even consider the wisdom of ovrtaking parked cars into a section of road where there's soon going to be a van coming the other way.
Don't be surprised when people do stupid things, expect them to be stupid, give them space to be stupid then they won't spoil your day.
Festina lente.

Don't rely on head turns from drivers.
Come to think of it don't rely on other drivers full stop.
At the time when you closed the gap on the Almera the lane had yet to become a right turn lane.
Long before you passed the parked cars the van was already passing cars.
Ergo he has right of way as he will be returning to his side of the road first, but is prevented from doing so by the cnut on the bicycle.
You are clearly able to see this, a bit of anticipation and common sense could have made matters easier for the both of you.
Instead, true to form you ride like an arse.

common sense would have seen me coming saw the parked car and the cyclist blocking the way so let the bike through and waited 30 seconds but if you read a thank you would have done ..other way around i would thank him..almera was in a different lane then (better) x ..i thought i was opinionated lol again i look forward to criticising your videos ..I don't see how saying i ride like an arse is called for seeing as i did nothing wrong at any point ..i might be an arse in my point making though granted ..im beginning to think you don't even ride

Maybe I'm watching a different video.
Edit: I've had a think and saying you ride like an arse was insensitive of me, so I apologise for that.

No problem mate .. the thing is i react to what happens in real time but you get to analize remember the camera sees different to the rider as i've said sometimes i make a point just for the sake of it ..doesn't mean I'm in the wrong just being a bit pedantic ,the vids are just put up as amusement and a hobby i don't ask others to react like i do but i would be a fraud if i didn't put up real stuff ...but i am trying honest ...and i do like the banter

Ha ha this is what i find weird i assume most of us drive cars , we tend to see the roads a little different to sole car drivers i can't speak for everyone but i do life savers and look way up the road like you do on a bike ...and most important if i get it wrong i hold my hands up and apologise (my biggest annoyance)
