DD,

Again, I agree that it a motorists actions can be just subtle enough to be difficult to prove that it was intentional. But again, if said driver has a history of harassing cyclists and/or pedestrians then the video that a cyclist made may just be what is needed to get a conviction against the driver.

A "good" example is the "good" doctor from LA who is now cooling his jets in prison. IF it hadn't been for other cyclists reporting the "good" doctor's behavior on the road then in his last assault on innocent cyclists wouldn't have resulted in his conviction.
