It might have gotten you into trouble b/c it shows you rear-ending someone while blowing an airhorn at the foolish fella who was trying to pass you illegally. Yeah, guy in the Mitsu is at fault in my view b/c he put you at risk, and rattled your cage.... but
some may argue, based on the video, that your bike was damaged when you rear-ended the civic, and still others might argue that the rear-end collision was avoidable.
I wasn't there, in your saddle, when it happened, so I won't try to speculate whether or not I'd have fared any differently. Moot point anyway, b/c you hit the Civic while trying to avoid the Mitsu which had needlessly and illegally threatened you. I get that. But, reviewing the video, I can see how someone else might get an entirely different impression.
