The above sure reads like fear to me-not road rage anger.
If so, then what do you think the driver would have done if he was
not in fear and was in rage? It seems to me accelerating is an aggressive expression, esp. in that circumstance, and consistent with rage. He knew the power of his vehicle.
If he were really in fear, he would have stopped the car to let the cyclist pass.
