To be clear, this video is not the worst thing I've ever experienced. It was the openly hateful behavior of a driver on a nearly empty road that irritated me.
Admittedly, my irritation-threshold has become much lower since I started working from a home-office (both in my car and on my bike)
Lastly, it was stated back on page 2 or 3 of this thread that every region/city has different norms; NYC riders will ride closer with cars than riders in rural Wisconsin. Having biked in a number of different environments my decades, I know that I will adapt to the norms of the place I'm riding. To point of this thread, this driver's behavior is not normal in this region... and to repeat myself, it was done with clear malice.
