I am sort of 50/50 about this, for several reasons.

1. While it doesn't justify what the drivers' did, he was still able to recover, without a major hassle.

2. On part of my ride today, I was passed by a 'beefcake' in an SUV. While seemingly close at first when I was making a right-turn. He acknowledged me and let me go first. While at the same time, I later saw a very attractive woman pass me within inches of my left leg, and at a high rate of speed.

3. Then, while in the right-most 'straight' lane(left of the right-turn lane), when a pickup truck hauling a commercial trailer got behind me and laid on his horn. He laid on his horn for a long block, before he gave up trying to intimidate me and got in the right-turn lane to make a right turn at the intersection.

I watched the video several times, and the only motorist I encountered, that was in any way close to what the OP experienced, was the woman who passed me at a high rate of speed.
