As the OP, I used this photo and story as an example, my point being that I often come across cyclists that seem to take up a lot more road than they need, my point being, if we do that on our cycles then we are causing others to maneuver around us, a gentle arc around a cyclist that is not hogging the road is way safer that a full on overtake.
I'm sure the UK police will find the driver, they normally do when vids go viral. And for that he/she will probably lose their license...
I live and cycle in South East Asia, the roads are chaotic, to say the least, and sports/hobby cyclists tend to ride in pelatons or three abreast chatting to each other... and often causing traffic tailbacks... and therein causing other road users to take on quite dangerous overtaking maneuvers.
Thanks for all the reply's.
