This is true.
The sad thing is that in this as in many other cyclist/motorist interaction we'll probably never get the whole story of what really happened. Unless everything was caught on camera somewhere. Even then we still may not get the whole story as video can be edited. Or "accidentally" erased/deleted.

Oh oh oh! I said "helmet"!!!!!!! Think we can get a good helmet debate going now? lol!

DC, why I keep all of my commute videos of particular incidents in a "raw" state, no editing involved

This is a perfectly normal way to solve problems in Australia.

Yup. I've had my share of incidents in the short time I've been riding on the streets - including a dislocated shoulder last month from being forced into a curb. And a whole BUNCH of stuff yelled at me. I think we all feel that frustration.... but that doesn't mean we're always the one in the right. I wish the cyclist had been wearing a helmet camera, so we'd actually be able to see the incident.
It would be nice to see some footage of the incident.
How very true.
