Look, it's obvious that the van posed a danger to a lesser-skilled rider than yourself. Should we all just let such riders fend for themselves and let might be right for fear of being called bad names by you? (By the way, you've already lost the argument by Godwin's law.)
If you read one of my earlier posts, you'd see I characterized the video as showing 3 jerks who deserved each other. Your hazard is my inconvenience, and well below my threshold of what's reportable. The analogy to the freeway doesn't hold for a dozen reasons, but lets face it, you think what you think and I think what I think, and readers here will think what they think.

I don't see threads on a forum as who wins or loses, we post what we think and readers can draw their own conclusions.
