Exactly the same thing happened to me the other day. The stupid boy racer must have been going 60 in a 30!!! Makes me so angry. Stupid driving like that could kill a family

Reminds me of something I saw a couple of weeks ago, no bike involved though.
My dad was driving on a country lane, we were stuck behind a tractor doing 20 mph, the NSL road was twisty with a solid white line so no safe over take, just as we got to a straight the tractor started indicating right so we came to a stop behind him. There was a lorry behind us, he got impatient, probably thought we didn't want to pass him so over took us both, luckily the tractor stopped mid turned as he saw the lorry. The lorry then bounced across the grass verge taking out a road sign, bounced back on the road and carried on like nothing had happened. Scared the poo out of us.

You can roll eyes all you like, getting aggressive with a bike filtering queues is childish and pathetic, it costs people no time yet still they act like idiots.
If you agree that was good behaviour then you can have a big

It must be wonderful to be so perfect.
When it comes down to it, a large proportion of us would get just as angry (even if people here wouldn't admit to it).

I think the bigger issue here is that a grown man appeared to be listening to Adele!

How fast was the biker going? You should be able to work it out if you can measure the distance between the far side of the junction you ultimately turned into and the start of the bridge on a map - he covers that distance in 2 seconds (0:15 to 0:17 on the video).
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=51.891199,-2.141798&spn=0.001602,0.003629&t=h&z=19
There's the junction.
60-70m according to the scale indicator

So thats say 35 m/s, which is around 71mph. Though thats very very rough!
Doesn't make me perfect makes them morons. Using a car as a weapon against someone on 2 wheels can never be condoned and I cannot see how you are continuing to justify it.

Boils down to jealousy a lot of the time.. "Hes getting there quicker than I am!!!"
A bike can fit fine between cars so why should I sit in your traffic?
as for the OP - Very lucky you stopped, very bad judgement by the biker and very irresponsible.
