Your plea very much reminds me of the discussion many of us had in this thread

I was very critical of that bike rider in that thread, because he obviously did something very stupid, which I know I would never had done.
However, WRT this incident. That cyclist, that I can see, did nothing wrong. That could easily had been me. It seems obvious to me that the driver, very likely, did this on purpose.
